The Woodford township, 2009

The Woodford township, 2009. With a population of around 5000 people, the township of Woodford is very welcoming to the thousands of campers and day visitors who make their annual pilgrimage to the Woodford Folk Festival. Perhaps the quirkiest town highlight is the greengrocers, ‘Elvis Parsley’s Grapelands’ whose costumed proprietor sings to customers as they shop. Moreover, the op-shop has diversified its merchandise to be able to supply campers with all manner of necessities.
