The golden fields of sunflowers against a rugged mountain backdrop again welcomed the crowds to the highly successful three day Kalbar Sunflower Festival. Carissa the Bubble Fairy delighted the kids and was just one of many entertainments organised by Jenny Jenner and her team of volunteers and creatives. Innovations, year on year improvements and an understanding of the experience the visitors are looking for are all part of Jenny’s formula for success … and of course, timing the sunflowers so they will be open. This year, it even tempted a Japanese lady to fly in to volunteer and be part of the whole experience.   Photo LYLE RADFORD
