12/04/2010 - We wish to advise that on the 11/04/2010 the Lachlan Living History Group informed the festival organisers that they would not attend the Lambing Flat Festival despite having made an agreement with the Young Visitor Information Centre. At this moment of time the Young Visitor Information Centre wishes to advise festival goers that it has engaged an alternative company to hold the muzzle loading re-enactment with an antique firearm however they do not have the same extensive range of weapons as the Lachlan Living History Group. We apologise for any inconvenience.
