A look at
KYBONG ROCK
FEST, 2009
Once
again our annual Rockfest was a huge success. This Fest has
grown from an idea to get Rockhounds 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 always is!
A large crowd of spectators visited the Show 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 weaving, pottery, gold panning,
sapphire sieving, crystal healers, Aura photos, massage, Reiki
and lots more. Then the huge campfire was lit and the indian
drums sounded until late at night with singing and dancing while
the rockhounds enjoyed talks on Mineral deposits and how to
locate these anywhere on earth with our local
Mineralogist. Also a slide show and talks on our
famous Agate Creek Agate deposits and the beauty of Agates under
the microscope by Sir Paul Howard.
The atmosphere for the weekend was an unbelievably happy one. We
all look forward to next year's Fest on first weekend in August
6th-7th-8th-2010
Thank you Rockhounds for making this event the most popular in
Queensland. John & Cecile. |
