A Celebration of Nature



Winter Magic was a stunning day. The happy got even happier. Katoomba put on a brilliant bit of weather for us and we enjoyed the colour and the spectacle in corker sunshine! It has been worth waiting for. 30,000 people basked in the mountains air to the beat of drums, the trill of brass and the show of chroma. A great day. The community was out the smiles were about. The cynics and the glum were drowned out by fun and grins. Why not ? A freedom as good as the winter magic festival should be coveted. The Pagans can roam free and proud to honour their nature, the religions of other bent can do theirs, the hippies, ferals, new agers and hip can all peace along together. An act of democracy. In the cool altitudes.
