A vision that exceeded reality is how Two Worlds Festival organiser Cam Begg described the October 20 event that took place at the Fyansford Paper Mills.<\/p>\n

Aussie rock legends Tim Rogers and Adalita joined Yirrmal and the Miliyawutj and a slew of other high-class acts who took to the stages across the afternoon and evening.<\/p>\n

The inspiration for the festival comes from the Marrma\u2019 Rom-Two Worlds Foundation, which translates to \u201ctwo worlds, two cultures or two belief systems\u201d in Yolngyu Matha, the language of the people in Arnhem Land.<\/p>\n

Mr Begg said despite the rain, a thousand-strong crowd turned out to celebrate the best of western and Indigenous culture, creating a \u201cfantastic\u201d atmosphere.<\/p>\n

\u201cEvery singer has been glowing in their response, they were treated really well, we have great volunteers who look after them. The crowd was receptive to the artists.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe sound was fantastic by our technicians, everything led to them (the artists) being in a really great place and they performed really well.<\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone was really happy, and it was extremely gratifying. It\u2019s exactly as we would have hoped and envisioned, and we are looking forward to building the momentum on it.\u201d<\/p>\n
