Summary: Crowds of Jandakot residents gather outside the Jandakot Agricultural Hall for the 8th annual Agricultural Show in 1902. A mixture of men and women crowd together on the sandy ground, and the hall has tents annexing either side to make room for more displays. A large banner hanging from the front of one annexe is most likely advocating for the building of the Fremantle-Armadale railway, which was a primary concern for Jandakot settlers in the early 20th century.
