Armidale 2000 |
Armidale |

A very pretty looking Dark Age village (or at least a couple of the buildings that were present).
Here Matt (red shield) hides his sword behind a tree, Duncan (white shield, far right) hides behind his shield, and Heath (white shield) hides behind Duncan.
Steve (left) and Matt (right) brave the cold, whilst Roslyn ponders the hygiene aspects of drinking from parts of a dead cow.

These photographs where taken at the 2000
Armidale Easter Gathering held biannually at Armidale in New South
Wales.
Esoteric comment of the weekend: Snorris will be fine.
The Fire and Steel campsite (NB: Watch it grow over the years).
The longhut (NB: Watch this change over years)
Steve, Heath, Duncan, Poppy and Tiny Mullet get ready to go a-huntin'.
On the left we see a shot of what Fire and Steel strives to avoid. The fellow in the foreground prances about in his visored sallet, and out of period style gambeson and manages to drag his spear in the dirt. The people in the background stare on, possibly stunned, at the fellows absolute lack of commitment to a Dark Age event. The fellow on the right, moves away from the SCA lover, as any history enthusiast would do. |
