The Claremont Showground in Perth, Western Australia, is home to the annual Perth Royal Show. In 1902, 13 hectares (32 acres) of land were reserved in Claremont, a suburb of Perth, 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.
