The music festival clocking up thousands of kilometres touring tiny halls across the outback

Help keep family & friends informed by sharing this articleWith a population of 250 people, the historic gold mining community of Ravenswood is often dubbed a ghost town."It's such a cool town – I feel like I've stepped back 100 years," Canadian singer-songwriter Catherine MacLellan said.

"We've been in the tiniest towns and places you wouldn't expect to even have a hall, and they have these beautiful halls and beautiful communities – it's been magic," Ms MacLellan said. "The halls need life, and they need music, and they need community to be coming together and using them," Ms MacLellan said."[These towns are] for the most part starved of music or entertainment, so it's nice to be able to bring something out of the ordinary," he said.

Woodfordia deputy executive director Amanda Jackes said the tours offered a taste of world-class music to small communities often doing it tough.
