We are all devastated by this COVID 19- chaos- my focus has been totally on the Festival- it is the highlight of my year! and it is my baby- my apologies to everyone who was coming -has booked- or looking forward to our wonderful event. You will all recieve a notification and newsletter via email this week. I m contacting everyone- I do thank you all for your support- and love you all- without you-there would be no Bony Mountain.  My knee surgery all done- so I am recouping from that - and bitterly dissapointed we cannot run our wonderful Festival this year. But I suspect this Virus could run right into Xmas? it is all so unpredictable!  Stay safe everyone- & I look forward to welcoming you all back to Bony Mountain 2021.  

MEET MY NEW BABY- MELODY- THE CLYDESDALE FILLY! 

We are into all our winter preparations now- even with no Festival-it all needs to be done regardless-but our Volunteer team were coming from Victoria- so we have lost them as well -which was a huge blow. Hoping for 2021 our  Artists will all be the same- but must all be confirmed. Our large group of Volunteers coming up this winter-  to help with clean up jobs- some gardening- so much to do really-and winter is the best time here. But sadly that is all on hold too. We have had good rain-everything is looking great-only. Our building project last year was Blacksmith Shop and-this year our Ukulele Shack- or more like a Gazebo- 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! . This boy-cleverly disguised as a BEE!  Our Program will be much the same for 2021.  

 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 WARWICK PIPE THISTLE BAND- MARCHING IN! 

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- MICK ONSTAGE DOING A SOLO!

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!
