As part of the 'portal task' aspect, Ashleigh and Camilla have been doing extensive research about the festival in the lead-up to the big weekend (Aug 29-31).
The Village Festival of Arts & Music is the Capricorn Coast's major arts celebration, staged each year by the Keppel Coast Arts Council since 2002. This year's event will be staged at the Yeppoon Pony Club and is receiving sponsorship support from CQUniversity Australia.
