We are still looking for the Rose Gold boots that were unfortunately taken - if you have them please message the page or drop them off to The Farmers Wife in Creswick or Daylesford.

On behalf of the Red Dirt Ball Committee we want to say it again, THANK YOU for your support.
To you our Guests for dressing up & kicking your heels up for such a great fundraising night & for believing in us. We are still absolutely stoked with how the night unfolded!

For the creative genius and hard work that our electrician and total lighting superstar, Gary Miles, contributed to this event - we are so grateful for all of your work in creating the many spectacular spaces. These were complimented beautifully with the lighting and gigantic disco ball provided by Andrew Walsh. So much gratitude to you both.

A special mention to our styling team Bec Mason from The Farmers Wife, Kristy Tippet from Windflower, Sue Prendergast from Quirindi Stables, Leonie Rousch, Amanda Gray and Marg May. Their hard work and creativity was incredible.

To our Sponsors, our Supporters, our Suppliers & our amazing Volunteers who worked tirelessly on the night & into the wee morning. To our caterer Saltimbocca Catering who served mouth watering food all night.

Thank you to our professional photographer Timeless Imagery for capturing some amazing memories. Follow the link to see the photos! https://timelessimageryashlee.pixieset.com/reddirtball/

Thank you to our amazing band No Mistake the dance floor was rocking all night! And to Nick and Leonie Rousch for the massive dance floor and Elemento One for kicking off the night.

Thank you to our venue owners, Drita & Will De Fegely for building the amazing Hangar Bar.

Thank you to our bus drivers Trace from Kingston, Jamie Allen and Michael Milne.

Each of our committee members individual talents & skillsets melded together along with a massive amount of work going on in the background prior to, on the night & post event to create an absolutely fantastic night! So to all of you a sincere THANK YOU & JOB WELL DONE!

Hi everyone,

Unfortunately a couple things we need to follow up.

Two pairs of boots that were on display have gone walkabout. If you have taken them can you please message us directly so they can be retuned to the owners. Picture below of missing boots!
We’d hate to have to find out where they went through the security cameras.

A black iPhone was also lost on the night - if you picked it up by accident or saw one please message us directly.
Picture below for reference.

Thank you,
Red Dirt Ball Committee 😊
