Kyneton Daffodil & Arts Festival 2005

Sunday, 11 September 2005 – travel to Kyneton for the Daffodil festival.

The chaps were invited to take part in the Kyneton Daffodil and Arts Festival – another lovely trip up the Calder Freeway to Central Victoria. (Why are so many of our gigs up that way? Where is Keating’s located again?)

We turned up about 12 to take part in the parade, and it was so cold. The parade was late taking off, and we nearly froze our &^%*^ off waiting to get going. We had to leave our jumpers, jackets, etc. in the cars because we did not have a roady to carry them for us, so it was not until we got into the full swing of the dance through town that we started to warm up.

After the parade we did a few dances in the park, then packed up and headed back to Melbourne.

On our way home we stopped in at Keating’s in Woodend to spend our petrol money on some of those fine Holgate ales; er, I mean, petrol.
