The Claremont Showground near Perth, Western Australia is home to the annual Perth Royal Show. In 1902, 13 hectares (32 acres) of land were reserved in the Perth suburb of Claremont for a new showground to replace the Guildford Showgrounds. The Royal Agricultural Show, of three days, was first held there in October and November 1905.
