The Wandong Country Music Festival is an annual country music festival held in Wandong, Victoria, 50 kilometers (31 mi) north of Melbourne, Victoria.
Started in 1972, Wandong was once Australia's largest country music festival, but dwindling crowds in the 1980s lead to its cessation until 2001, when the modern version of the festival was inaugurated. This festival is no longer running "DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL." As at 2012.
Famous quotes containing the words country, music and/or festival:
“The country is holy: O bide in that country kind,
Know the green good,
Under the prayer wheeling moon in the rosy wood
Be shielded by chant and flower and gay may you
Lie in grace.”
—Dylan Thomas (1914–1953)
“On the first days, like a piece of music that one will later be mad about, but that one does not yet distinguish, that which I was to love so much in [Bergotte’s] style was not yet clear to me. I could not put down the novel that I was reading, but I thought that I was only interested in the subject, as in the first moments of love when one goes every day to see a woman at some gathering, or some pastime, by the amusements to which one believes to be attracted.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
“The surest guide to the correctness of the path that women take is joy in the struggle. Revolution is the festival of the oppressed.”
—Germaine Greer (b. 1939)
