Contextual Information

Believed to have been taken as promotional material for the Toodyay Tourist Centre, who managed the festival at the time.
They are a similar type to the group of 51 photos taken at the festival a month later (2012.61a-ap) which are also assumed to have been produced for the same purpose.
