The first Country Music Show was held in the old barn in 1969, and the first Harvey Dickson's Country Music Show in the new venue was in 1986. The Entertainment Shed is decorated wall to wall and rafter to rafter with banners, posters, original signs, old horse drawn wagons, memorabilia from 100 years ago to the present creating a fantastic atmosphere
In 2000, armed with a spatula, trowels and dental tools at his disposal, local identity, crafty Sandy Chambers moulded nearly two tons of Northam (W.A.) sand into the remarkable lifesized likeness of Elvis Presley, which now stands in the "Bunyip Shed" protected by replica "Graceland Gates"
The Wood Sculptures
All over the centre you can see an assortment of animals sculptured out of wood. A 46ft guitar man stands tall and proud with his two friends, the "Banjo Girl" and lead guitar player "Zoren". The sculptures started out as trees growing in the wild. Boots, hat, eyes and mouth have been added along with 23ft metal instruments
