Serviceton transformed into steampunk universe
Wimmera Steampunk Festival is only eight weeks away and the countdown is well and truly on.
Promotional work has started, Serviceton Station having been transformed into a steampunk dreamscape last Sunday for a photoshoot.
The volunteer-run shoot aims to help showcase the Wimmera Steampunk High Tea at Serviceton on Sunday April 13 as well as show the capabilities and creativity of models, stylists and photographers from across the region.
Embracing the elaborate steampunk clothing, it was styled by Venetia Elbourne-Hobbs and distinct hats were designed and created by Hats by Pollyanna at Dimboola.
Mathew Dooling from Exposure of Light captured the essence of the festival's eccentric theme through his photography.
Guests will have the chance to experience a ride on Seymour Railway Heritage Centre's train, which was built in 1888, stopping at Horsham, Dimboola, Nhill and Kaniva.
For those not travelling by train, there will be a lunch-only option at $35 per person.
Attendees will also be entertained by band Probably Guilty.
