Gnome Festival 2012

January 26th is a day to remember as its Australia Day and also the annual International Gnome Festival at Glenbrook, in the Blue Mountains.

Unfortunately we have had very heavy rain for a number of days and we thought it may be canceled but today was forecast to be showers so we took wet weather gear and headed of. Despite the weather there was a great crowd to welcome all the Gnomes.

More Gnome Helpers.





We were entertained by the local choir, unfortunately their voices don't carry very far.



One of the crowd caught "planking".



Gnomes everywhere of all shapes and sizes.

We were supposed to meet up with Alex and Ben but they were running late. We had just finished seeing all the Gnomes, stalls and attractions when the sky went very black and the heavens opened. We were very lucky to beat the rain back to some shelter as it was a very heavy shower so we decided to call it a day.
