On our travels this far, we have met a lady travelling on her own in a motorised campervan...here at Alice Springs is the forth caravan park we have met up with her. She told us about this 'festival' being held here all about hand made 'Beanies' people come from all over the country and beyond and they can either send in or bring their Beanies to be in the competition. Brenda and I went to the venue where it is being held and were kindly allowed to view the display as we are leaving here tomorrow before the opening of it all. Well we were amazed at the amount of Beanies that are on display...all shapes and sizes and the imagination was incredible. We were told by some ladies we met that in total there will be 6000 Beanies on display and there will be some people from Japan with their Beanies...they come for the just the week end!!! some come from all around the Country. It is the 15th year the festival has been held in Alice Springs. At the end of it all the beanies will be sold and a percentage goes back to the Owner and the rest to support the Aboriginee ladies who also take part in making beanies and had quite a display.
