Anyone who has been to the show has also been to Sideshow Alley. Not everyone approves but Sideshow Alley has for generations captured the imaginations of young Australians.

Lights and noise, dust and dirt, an over indulgence of entertainment and novelties, fast rides, show bags, kewpie dolls and excessive amounts of sugary food, all at the local showground.

Freaks and boxing tents are long gone replaced by bigger, brighter and faster rides.

The show is part of the history of popular culture in Australia and SPIN chronicles and celebrates the thrill of sideshow alley.
