"It was the coolest time I have had since taking spring break in Spain
in my senior year of high school. It was almost better than sex."
Cosmotourist Travel Blog

"When we arrived I couldn't wait to get into my dark ages kit,
it was cold and windy and wollen clothes, a blanket cloak
and a furry hat were just right.
Mim's Muddle

"This weekend past, in Lithgow, NSW, was the Ironfest.
If you didn't go, well you missed a bloody brilliant day or two out!"
British Expats

"The events were spectacular and the displays were
as authentic as you can get without stealing a time-machine."
