Lumberjacks, bulls the size of small cars, sheep shearing and Kiwi band Sons of Zion are among the weird and wonderful entertainment at this year's Royal Easter Show.
More than 120,000 punters are set to pack into Auckland's ASB Showgrounds over five days, for this year's event.
And there would be plenty to do and see with a jam-packed lineup of entertainment including Zirka Circus, carnival rides and fireworks.
The event was also set to celebrate 175 years of the A & P show, which would bring country life to city slickers including a petting zoo and shearing competitions.
This year's entertainers included Tina Scheer, AKA Timber Tina, who has been log rolling since she was 7-years-old and founded the first all-women team of logging sports entertainers.
Scheer, 57, and a group of lumberjacks were set to travel from America for their thrilling show, which features souped-up chainsaws, axe throwing and underhand chopping.
