The Skermer Famliy have been running the Bilyana ‘Folk Rhythm & Life Festival’, in north-eastern Victoria, since 1996 and in the process raising funds for local and international charities. The festival has always been environmentally sustainable, with the original “drop dunnies” developed by Hamish Skermer now being used not only in Eldorado but also at festivals in Australia and overseas.
