The 2009 Festival The 2009 K'Ozzie Fest was held on Mount Kosciuszko (April 17), in Jindabyne (April 18) and in Cooma (April 19). Tens of performing artists – young and old, from around Australia, and from different backgrounds – entertained crowds at both the day and evening events. The announcement of the winners of the Strzelecki Art Competition, and the exhibition of works submitted for the competition, were just two of the highlights of the festival.
