Watch on as driver Clive Featherby speeds around the course and flips his massive vehicle into the air. Showtimes are 12.30pm, 5.30pm, and 8.30pm on 27 and 28 October.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wheel of Death<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>If watching a man flip a truck in mid-air is too tame for your liking, make sure you see the gravity defying wheel of death. It\u2019s one of the worlds most dangerous circus acts in which an acrobat balances and performs on a rotating wheel 15 metres above the ground. Showtimes are 12pm, 3pm, and 6pm on 27 and 28 October.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rides<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Boasting some of Australia\u2019s best carnival rides, this area of the show will keep you entertained all day. Classic rides like the Ferris wheel and dodgem cars will sit alongside exciting newcomers such as the pendulum and the big party ride. The organisers have built a world of flashing lights, dance music, and adventure, so tie your shoelaces and prepare for a wild ride. Rides will operate from 9am to 9pm during the show.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Wood chopping competition<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A mainstay of most agricultural shows is the wood chopping competition. The competitors make it look easy, but it takes a lot of strength and skill to split wood with medal-winning precision. Heats<\/p>\n<p>will begin on Saturday morning with the champions crowned by the end of the day. Watch the chop from 10am to 6pm 28 October at Fosterville Gold Exhibition Centre.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Health hub<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>A health hub will run over both days of the show giving attendees a chance to get a quick checkup or discover new ways to stay healthy. Among the stalls will be Rural Aid, an organisation that provides counselling and support to farmers. Latrobe Health will also be there providing checks, and diabetes and cholesterol tests. The health hub is open 27 and 28 October from 9am to 6pm.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>ORGANISERS of the Bendigo Agricultural Show have pulled out all the stops this year to make the first time back following a three-year break one to remember.
