“Quirky farm vehicles lead the fun as a Hunter town celebrates. The Blue Mountains celebrates its assets with garden festivals, Young has its cherry festival, outback Lightning Ridge honours its opals, while fruit bowl Batlow has an apple fest.

And up at Wollombi they celebrate, err, ride-on mowers.

Well, in this historic valley full of tree-changers, just about everyone has one. So, thought he festival organisers, why not bring them to town for a party?”
