00:00So there's been rain. Good for flowers, not so good for attendance and people.
00:06What we don't know yet is whether the special factors this year have affected the desire of stallholders to come
00:15back.
00:15We've had the roadworks, for example, so lots of people have had to walk quite a long way to get
00:20here.
00:21And then the torrential rain over the weekend.
00:23The stallholders I've talked to are pretty happy, though they note that prices are going up.
00:32They say their margins are very, very tight.
00:36And the ones I've talked to say they're going to have to think about whether they come back.
00:41Having said all that, the people who've weathered the weather think it's great.
00:51I'm from Wangaratta, Victoria. I came here just to watch the garden. It's excellent.
00:58I have been here a couple of times before. I couldn't just say no, I have to come.
01:04And it was absolutely horrendous rain yesterday. When I was driving, I thought I'm going to have a crash or
01:13something.
01:13But I still came. And it's worth it.
