2009
WALLABY FESTIVAL WAS HUGE! WATCH THIS SPACE FOR PREVIEW
Yes, the 2009 Wallaby Creek Festival
was another HUGE success! The locals loved it as well as all those
mobs of North Qld'landers that keep coming back each year .....
The performers ... the organsiers ...... the volunteers .... the
children ..... everyone loved it and left knowing they'd been
to a special event. Amongst the crowd of three and a half thousand
were a family from Germany who say that Wallaby Creek Festival
is now their favorite - with the friendliest people in the world.
Thanks for making it happen and we'll do it again in 2010.
