Looking at Mount Coot-tha

Mount Coot-tha is one of the dominant visual landmarks of Brisbane.

Woodford Folk Festival fashions, 2009. The fashion espoused by the attendants of the Woodford Folk Festival is especially distinctive. Dreadlocks, henna, kaftans, tie-dye and beads are typical, while eye-catching colour is a predominant feature of the peopled festival landscape. The alternative fashion sense becomes infectious over the course of the festival: South American seed pod hats, Thai fishermen’s pants or Arabian harem pants and Muslim elfin leather shoes are often key purchases for first-time festival goers.

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.
