Radical Reptiles

Radical Reptiles is arguably the best reptile show you'll ever see. The Radical Reptiles Exhibition is based around education and aims to promote responsible pet ownership and conservation of our native fauna through education. Dave and his team realise that some people have a fatal attraction to deadly snakes and others are terrified of them. It's Dave's mission in life to try and change attitudes so that we can all learn to live in harmony with our native wildlife.

For those brave enough you can pat a python, for most though, simply watching from a safe distance is enough.

Bundy Kegs

Bundy Kegs, all the way from Schmeider's Cooperage Complex Bundaberg, Bundaberg's original Cooperage, are here to demonstrate the art of making American Oak barrels for wines and spirits. Using both traditional and modern methods to re-work salvaged American Oak casks without using any glues or sealing agents, they produce the best, quality made kegs for those who appreciate their Port or Spirit with that Special Oak Flavouring.

Chainsaw Sculptor - BJ Gentry

BJ is an unusual sculptor creating intricate and attractive wood carvings using only a selection of chainsaws. BJ has plenty of examples of his work on display, he can also carve artwork to order, all you need to do is ask him. His Bundy Bears are a particular favourite.

Jonas Kirk - The Artful Bodger

Centuries ago groups of craftsmen would camp out in the forest and build all sorts of things from the timber around them, traveling from Perth, Cairns Show is now the only Show in Australia where visitors can see these amazing skills, presented by Jonas Kirk.

All his are tools are traditional and they are mostly antiques, including a shave horse, which is used to clean up split logs, an old-fashioned bench drill that requires quite a bit of elbow grease, and a large grindstone that is used for sharpening tools. He also has a pole lathe and a foot-powered jigsaw he built himself, based on an 1816 design.

Catch Jonas everyday in Seven Cairns Heritage Park.

Beautifully restored cars, couples, buckboards and trucks will turn heads. Marvel at the incredible work of these fastidious and proud restorers.
