The Cameraygal Festival has officially kicked off. The Festival runs from August to October 2016. The Festival is jam packed with events. Here are 10 events not to be missed.
Colourful lights, sculpture and atmospherics, combined with Don Murchison’s nature inspired leadlight
windows, will be all lit up for the occasion. Streams, ponds and waterfalls surround the Jungle Chalet, which becomes 90% surrounded by water.

Don has personally placed every piece of sandstone and every pebble to replicate nature in a miniature wonderland.
