The Stephens family from Eltham, in Melbourne’s north-east, has been coming to the festival for five years. Michael, 11, Josiah, 9, Timothy, 5, and Jacob, 3, are spending the school holidays in Warrnambool with their mother Andrea.
Mrs Stephens said the family buys an eight-day pass to the festival and they come every day.
“The children look forward to it every year,” she said. “It’s our winter trip.”
Mrs Stephens said the storybook world was always a hit with her kids.
“There’s something new each day,” she said.
“They never get bored.”
