Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers who came in from various volunteering agencies, the National Trust Board and by word of mouth.  Your help and support throughout the day made it possible for us to look after thousands of people

 

Thank you to the NSW Police Band, the Yeehaa Boys, the Culprits and Hip Fidelity – all of whom donated their services to the National Trust and provided great entertainment all day long that could be heard half way down the bridge and helped to draw people into our grounds

Thanks to Bruce from Sanihire who made sure that our portable toilets were kept immaculately clean throughout the day and who waited patiently to move his truck out after all the stallholders had gone

 

Thanks to Paul Fenelon and the team from ADR Audio who made sure that the sound system was perfect and loud enough  to bring in the thousands

 

Thanks to Noel Mason and Barwick Hire who built us such a huge stage in a position to ensure we were very visible
