Welcome to WintermoonWelcome to WintermoonWelcome to Wintermoon

Thornlands from Brisbane were the first act on Friday afternoon.
Held each Labour day weekend for the last 11 years near Mackay is this wonderful music festival.
It started off as a tiny local event for the folk muso's in the area, and now it has become a huge four day event with guest artists from all over Australia.
It is held at Cameron's Pocket which is north and west of Mackay on private property skirting the foothills of Eungella National Park.
Jenny Drake and Chris Cann were the initial organisers who have been fantastic enough to give so much of their own time, money and energy each year to run this wonderful event along with thousands of volunteers and friends.
This year Bob Eden came on board as festival organiser.
2007 brought fantastic acts from all over Australia singing a range of music from tradtional Irish tunes to Engllish ballads to comtemporary Australian originals to flamenco and everything in between.
The creek was full and flowing, the weather warm and sunny except for the misty rainy Monday which was really nice, the food great, the company exceptional.
