With a storm blowing in from the south, Bek Straughan – orgainser of the Wollongong Babywearing Event – embraced the “World of Possibilities’ philosophy and quickly changed the venue to Integral Energy Park in Dapto to ensure participants would not get wet. It was fantastic to hear that lots of new faces attended.
One highlight from the day was the attendance of photographer Michelle Fulcher from Inspired Images. Click over to her record of the day right here. The images are divine!
