Recently we shared some time with people who are passionate about old cars, , Rockabilly and RocknRoll at the Wintersun Festival. Where I live had a special event called Wintersun,where people’s passions were so evident. Wintersun is Australia’s largest Rockabilly and RocknRoll Festival.

We started the morning at the local Anglican Church where the amazing 83yeard Rev BenClarke presided over a packed church. This was the a year of celebration- 50 Years of Rock n Roll. 30 year anniversay of Elvis Presley’s death, and 20 years of Wintersun.

The surprise visit of the Drifters was a real treat, along with the auction of music and memorabilia, which along with the collection raised money for youth off the streets program.
