Tamworth Country Music Fest
Hadas, Matt and I headed up to Tamworth for the Country Music Festival last weekend, to take in two days of the iconic ten day festival. The five hour drive from Sydney at 5pm was long, winding and hot. Or so I'm told - I slept most of the way, and woke up in a cosy little one man tent under a tree in Tamworth the next morning :) Here are some photos

FaLLs fEst 'o6/'07
Here are some shots from Falls Fest, Lorne, 30 Dec '06 - 1 Jan '07
Who - Cam, Hadas, Matt, Rosie, Zoey, Me
How - Drove from Sydney via the National Hwy - quickest way in and out
Weather - Surprisingly cold! Low mist and rain most of the time, although when it did clear it was HOT!
Sweet Bands - Michael Franti, John Butler Trio, Blue King Brown, M.Ward, The Bedroom Philosopher, The Mountain Goats, Wolfmother
Best thing - Escaping to the hidden carnivale in the forest, sitting on pillows and drinking tea, no phone reception :D independent artists impromptu performance stage
Worst thing - Drunk, inconsiderate, obnoxious crowd in your face the WHOLE time! Like schoolies transplanted! eW.....Also, only one big stage and one big tent, not many places to go and no intimate venues. Traffic!!!!!!
Best food - Rice bread wraps for lunch
Best drink - Earl grey tea at 3am, yummmmmmmm
Stupidest thing seen - People throwing lighted sparklers and beer cans into the mosh. Oh, that and the blow up sex toy doll that was inflated and impaled on a campsite.......c'mon man!
Funniest thing seen (possibly taken from a Glastonbury doco) - Some dudes were sitting at their campsite by a pathway with a $5 note on the end of a fishing line. They had a fine old time watching people go for it and then pulling it out from under them. Pretty funny hehehe!
Verdict - Next year I'll avoid it like the plague ;)
Cold mist at the Festival
Roy and Joshy at the Falls' namesake
Zoey and Josh taking the best bath
Zoey and Cam negotiating the goon
Highway stopovers ROCK

Staying in Sydney......kinda
Last week some friends and I went out to Medlow Bath in the Blue Mountains to do a little climbing and chilling. Here are some shots (thanks Dalia! :)
Hazy view over Medlow Valley
Don't leave a knot in the rope when you go to pull it out through the rings at the top of a sport route.....
