OPEN SEASON -BAND AT BONY MOUNTAIN 2019 THEY RETURN FOR 2020. 

We are into all our winter preparations now- Festival-or no Festival-it all needs to be done regardless as we do plan on an Easter Festival anyway. So put it in your diary. Artists TBC we want to get through September first. We have a large group of Volunteers coming- to help with clean up jobs- some gardening- so much to do really-and winter is the best time here. We have had good rain-everything is looking great-only lots of last minute mowing if we can go ahead! Our building project was Blacksmith Shop last year-this year our Ukulele Shack- or more like a Gazebo- similar to this one (shown) we had a big lot of students last year-we love our Ukulele music!  Our band of newcomers all onstage with (Mick) last year-always a big hit!  Our Doggie parade will go ahead as usual on our Super Sunday!    Fran from TOTAL DOG GROOMING is our Judge & sponsor again with a BEST IN SHOW trophy to be awarded! . 

 Thank you all once again for coming last year- in the middle of that dreadful drought- you still came- in dry dusty conditions! the true Aussie spirit! All green and magnificent again this year! and we already have quite a few already booked in and I realise a lot of people plan their year around our Festival. I know so many of you are so looking forward to coming!  So rest assured Bony Mountain will go ahead -  I myself am staying positive -hopefully it will have run its course well & truly before then! Australia is certainly looking good compared to most! and Qld is looking great!   Some fabulous music and great entertainment lined up for 2020. And remember you can always just let us know your coming! and pay at the gate- if you are not sure about commiting too early ! we have fifty acres-so plenty of room. OUR HQ TEAM- LAST YEAR- with Niki & Norma .Laura-Pixie & Pete. 

Mick Angeles -is a great Teacher- missed his calling I reckon- starts off with raw recruits every year- and transforms them into a Ukulele Band by Sunday!  for their big stage debut!  These lessons all week are free- don't worry if you do not have a Ukulele- some are provided- ! BLAZER Local Rural Fire Brigade mascot- always popular with the kids & Little Squirt Fire Brigade mini truck- comes every year!  

Our dates for 2020- now- SEPTEMBER -18-19-20 - Conratulations to our Early Bird winners!  CHERYL BEMROSE-  VICKI & GREG STARK- LORETTA HUGHES  and we already have people Booking in- so Bookings are open- don't miss out on your favorite Camp?  We already have our main acts booked for 2020- . Bigger & better but also greener- and wetter!  hopefully. I sang my rain song on Sunday night- so it always works! After this weekend gone! I feel like it is all worthwhile!  what a wonderful week-and the music was so special ! with world class Bands- Performers-Dancers- how blessed we are to be able to soak up so much talent in one weekend!  If you missed it- well I am sorry- but if you were here with us!  thank you all once again for being part of the Bony Mountain family!  some Highlights coming & a new Volunteers page going up -so we invite any Volunteers to check in - sign up- and you can choose when you want to come ! all details on Volunteer page.  ALL PHOTO'S (Manfred Vijars) you can purchase copies if you wish!
