KYBONG ROCK FEST,
2010
Once again our
annual Rockfest was a huge success. This Fest has grown from an idea
to get Rock hounds together for a fun-filled three day campout to a
huge event. Stall holders from around Australia attended this year
for the campout. The weather was perfect and sunny as Queensland
mostly is!
A large crowd of spectators visited the Fest to stock up on the
variety of rocks, fossils, and minerals that were available from the
many stall holders. Entertainment was supplied by local bands,
artists demonstrating pottery, gold panning, cartoon portraits,
crystal healers, massage, Reiki and lots more. This year we enjoyed
talks on rocks and minerals by a famous British geologist on how
they were formed by molten lava from deep below the earth spewed up
by volcanic eruptions, and a Dutch palaeontologist who explained
which bone fits where in prehistoric birds and animals. At night
huge campfires were lit with wine and song by the many Rock hounds
attending. The atmosphere for the weekend was an unbelievably happy
one. We all look forward to next year's Fest on first weekend in
August, 5th-6th-7th, 2011.
Thank you Rock hounds for making this event the most popular in
Queensland. John & Cecile.
