The Penny Farthing Races in Evandale attract enthusiasts from across Australia and around the world. Accompanying the Penny Farthings races are a country fair and period themed festival. Evandale is just a 15 minute drive from Launceston in the north of Tasmania.
What a fun day we had at the Penny Farthing Races recently held in Evandale. We were camped at a friend's place near Devonport, but we could have just as easily camped right in Evandale as Joy and Bob did as well as Kerry, recent friends made on the road.
We also met up with others we saw on the road including Mike and Molly who are here from New Zealand working on MMM projects as well whom we met at the Hobart job.

| Biking memorabilia |
Penny farthings are making a comeback. Maybe it has to do with nostalgia though most of us are far too young to have ridden these as kids, but there is a certain charm and skill needed to ride what looks like an ungainly bike. Goodness me, I can hardly ride a regular bike with out crashing into a stationary item let alone race one.

| Period costume |
The whole village seems set on giving us a day of fun and nostalgia as there were many people dressed in period costume which all added to the ambiance of the day too.

| Goofing off with a statue |
There was also a village fair held at the same time with musicians, food, crafts stalls as well as other goodies, marching, dances including the Maypole dancing which I haven't seen since primary school days. There was even a vintage machinery section and vintage cars on display too.

Five weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. It all started when i went to summer camp i was trying to contact him but it was not going through. So when I came back from camp I saw him with a young lady kissing in his bed room, I was frustrated and it gave me a sleepless night. I thought he will come back to apologies but he didn't come for almost three week i was really hurt but i thank Dr.Azuka for all he did i met Dr.Azuka during my search at the internet i decided to contact him on his email dr.azukasolutionhome@gmail.com he brought my boyfriend back to me just within 48 hours i am really happy.
