Lake Cargelligo Festival of the Lakes 1964 

Oh what a time, Most folks today wouldn't be able to relate to this .

What a classic story - thanks for sharing.

That was great to watch, would have been great to be a part of

Loved my time at the lake very friendly people

So glad that we still have these old newsreels. A far more simple time to live. What a hoot those country festivals would have been. Thanks for posting.

Lawn bowls is still the best part of lake cargelligo

my home town....shame its not as simple a life as it seems back then, and imagine the insurance costs to have those sorts of activities now days, no wonder its lost in time, magical to see these sorts of flash backs

What a great documentary, really capturing the soul of The Lake. I always enjoy visiting there.

8yr old me was there somewhere lol

Lake Cargelligo was also home to the June 1862 Eugowra Gold Escort robber John Bow. Bow arrived at the lake on release from Darlinghurst Gaol 1874 originally from Penrith b. 1841. John Bow provided the funds to purchase the ground to establish the first Catholic Church and was instrumental in establishing the local racecourse. Died 1895 and is buried in the Catholic portion of the Lake Cargellico Cemetery.

Just did some camping out there, I will be back
