The cast of the Wizard of Oz could be seen alongside motocross riders and Dr Seuss creations on Wednesday, August 20.

Parents and carers were invited to see the kids’ costumes, which followed this year’s theme, ‘Book an Adventure’.

The Children’s Book Council of Australia organises the annual event, with this year marking its 80th event.
