Now, here's the fruits of their labour for you to enjoy.

'Throwback Thursday' galleries have become a staple of the www.centralwesterndaily.com.au diet, with a new one published each Thursday, and this week we'll take a look at a decade's worth of picnic race meets at Towac Park.

This gallery explores the social goings on of the time, so sit back and take a walk down memory lane ... and try not to choke on your cuppa as you take in the fashions and hairstyles.
