This weekend Alice Springs will host its penultimate beanie festival.
A celebration of the red centre's love for the humble beanie, the festival is in its 29th year.
From humble beginnings — 100 beanies and a pot of pumpkin soup — the festival now boasts thousands of beanies from elaborate art pieces to basic knitted numbers.
