Warwick came alive last week for the annual Rose & Rodeo Festival.
The festival Mardi Gras on Friday night brought the town together for a colourful street party, while people lined the street on Saturday for the lively Warwick Credit Union Street Parade. Over 40 participants made up this fantastic parade with a multitude of colours, characters, rhythms, floats and plenty of handsome horses on show.  Molly Harm (pictured) of Killarney School of Dance enjoyed taking part in the Street Parade.
The Warwick Rodeo and Gold Cup Campdraft attracted crowds in excess of 30,000 with competitors and horses travelling from every mainland state to compete.
