Hundreds of sheep wearing red socks will march through the streets of the town on Saturday. This annual tradition is part of the event, which attracts spectators from across the country.
The festival started as a way to teach city folk about the wool industry, and give the locals a chance to unite and enjoy their country lifestyle.
In the lead up to this year’s event, take a look back at photographs of the Festival of the Fleeces from the Fairfax archives.
