It was a great experience. While walking around with my mom I learned a lot more history about my grandfather Jeremiah Mills from the seniors that were there. The food was great I had a Dale Butler fishcake.(smiling). The stalls were inexpensive that I bought a few things. The diversity of the performers made it even more interesting. My children had a great time. Well done to the organisers. It was put together very well.
