The first of 3 films taken by Bob at Carcoar's Ben Hall Festival, October 1971.
All photos copyright Bob Bolton captions supplied by Ann & Frank Maher, 13/3/2018.
There were 3 main components to/of the Carcoar Festival : The Street Parade, the re-enactment at the bank, and the dance in the hall. Ben Hall was played by a descendant of Ben, but Frank is unsure now if he was a grandson or great grandson. Spectators milled around Ben Hall outside the Bank so thickly that he couldn’t get off his horse to do the deed.
