FESTIVAL HIGHLIGHTS FOR 2014:
Thundering hoofs and stockwhips wake the echo's in the foothills of the Snowy Mountains as the celebrations commence to commemorate not only 100 years since the passing of Jack Riley but also the 150th Birthday of Banjo Paterson, the event that brings these two names together is the Man From Snowy River Bush Festival. The tale of how they met and the result being the writing of the poem is now a part of local folklore as is the sad tale of Jacks’ death during the amazing ride by his mates to bring him back to medical help in Corryong.
As campfire smoke wafts its way across the valley, the celebration of a culture and history that is uniquely Australian begins when thousands of lovers of all things that celebrate Australia’s mountain bush heritage converge on Corryong for a great weekend of art, music, poetry, horse competition, entertainment, trade stalls, street parades, markets, camp oven cooking, historical machinery, ute muster, dog competitions... and fun! Lots of fun!
