Act Belong Commit Moondyne Festival organiser Rosemary Madacsi said the free event drew bigger crowds to the swag of attractions featuring street theatre, a colonial village and non-stop activities for families.
“This year’s festival was probably the best we’ve ever had,” she said.
A highlight of the day was the re-enactment of Moondyne Joe’s escapades throughout the town, his arrests and mock trials.
The free festival invites visitors to dress in pioneer costume and runs on the first Sunday in May.
