New Year's Eve kicked off with some incredible grooves at the ABC's annual national broadcast from the Woodford Folk Festival.
Presenter Jasmin Midgley hosted a star-filled two-hour program, showcasing some amazing acts and speakers including award winning singer-song writer Marlon Williams, Australian rock legend and activist Peter Garrett, and free-loving citizen of the world Michael Franti.
Festival founder and director Bill Hauritz began the show with a bit of advice for people new to Woodford.
"Bring gumboots, a handkerchief, bring an open mind and come prepared to step into the poster ... be absorbed by the festival," he said.
The six-day event is the largest gathering of artists and musicians in Australia with almost 2,500 performers this year and 120,000 visitors attending.
