IT WAS a bit of a slow start to Saturday's line-up at Cully Fest thanks to the inclement weather, but things certainly improved from there.  

Cully Fest spokesman Tristan Evert said the rodeo on Friday night went really well, with about 1500 people through the gates, but Saturday's rain and wind had many potential festival-goers deciding to stay at home instead.  

Despite that, he said there were still quite a few people through the gates determined not to miss out on the fun.

Residents keen to catch rockers Killing Heidi began to flood in towards the afternoon and stayed warm with plenty of dancefloor moves.  

"We moved everything inside because of the weather and it's much warmer and a lot nicer," he said.  

"Killing Heidi was fantastic and everyone was dancing and having a good time."  

Cully Fest was created to celebrate everything to do with indigenous and outback culture.
