Live Review : The Gum Ball 2016 – Dashville – Hunter Valley, NSW Australia

The Gum Ball 2016 - Dashville - Hunter Valley, NSW Australia Photographer: David Jackson
Walking into The Gum Ball for the very first time I admit I was unsure what to expect. Rain poured and lightning threatened to end the Friday evening before it even began.

From skateboard ramps to open puppet theatre this was a very clever addition.
