The 2017 Festival of the Miner’s Ghost was deemed a success despite a storm putting an early end to Saturday’s Markets in Drummond Park. The activities attracted a large crowd to enjoy the free rides, market stalls, and Show N’ Shine before wild stormy weather forced an early end to proceedings. The fireworks display over the open cut did still go ahead, with photographer Klae McGuinness capturing this impressive shot of lightning in the background of the fireworks.
