About

Go back in time and visit Toodyay's colonial festival celebrating the life of the infamous bushranger, Moondyne Joe at The Act-Belong-Commit Toodyay Moondyne Festival. Toodyay locals dress in 1800 century costumes and encourage everyone to dress in period costumes and contribute to the festival's atmosphere, street theatre and fun antics. Join in the fun and festivities as Moondyne Joe and his gang re-enact various escapes throughout the town, his arrests and mock trials while being a general menace. Cheer on Joe's gang, "floozies" coppers, swaggies and the Town Crier. Don't forget to visit The Old Gaol Museum and enjoy the authentic surroundings and original artefacts. Retrace Toodyay's colourful past .....you may discover some secrets. The programme will be available online and from the Toodyay Visitor Centre and Moondyne Information Booth on Stirling Terrace. This is a dog-free event.
