Bush craft

One pavilion had "historic" displays; spinning and weaving, making horse shoes, manual sheep sheering and lots more. This "old timer" is making bush furniture and his mate is showing how they lit fires before matches were invented; all very interesting (and entertaining).

Very interesting. That is one of the things I love to visit when in Australia. I visited a gumnut factory in Perth. Was an eye opening for me. Your photos are very interesting.
