Adding to the immersive experience was the participation of the Gold Trails Group with their bushranging re-enactments, a major draw card, along with bush band 'November Shorn', John Kitchen's Penny Farthings, Murphy's Puppets, the coach rides provided by Travealy Horse Drawn and period costumes sponsored by Hansen Optometrists.
