and still are today. A fantastic day including: |

recreate the atmosphere of 1901 with horse and cart events including

as they are mustered through town and watch demonstrations of early
shearing methods.

Georgian bungalow which houses an outstanding collection of colonial
furniture, arts and crafts.
