We arrived home today after spending four nights in our caravan at a music festival some two hours from home. Our friends were with us in their caravan and a single friend slept in the annex of the van. We were able to partition off a ‘room’ for her.
The weather stayed beautifully warm although we had quite strong winds the first night. Some of those who were camping in tents were up during the night adding more tent pegs to try to counteract the wind.
There were some wonderful musicians there as always although some we found to be very loud even with our deafness. The sound engineers seemed to delight in turning up the bass to the point where the ground was just about shaking.
As always, there were dozens of activities and workshops for children and young people of all ages. We don’t really expect to be there next year as we might head off on the ‘big lap’ in early March which means we’d miss the festival. The big lap is the name given to travelling round the perimeter of Australia.
Unfortunately neither of us took many photos this year so I’m putting up one from a previous festival.

@LadyDuck The Indonesian Tourist Commission had a big display at the festival. We sat through a short video and listened to some of their folk talking about their country. When we came home, we investigated how much it would cost to take the car and caravan to Indonesia in a container on a ship. Luckily, it is much too expensive so we won't be doing that.

Four days at a festival must have filled you up good and proper. Good to see you back

I”d rather hear the bass than feel it.
One of the biggest music festivals in the US, MerleFest, was this past weekend as well. I had friends all over at music festivals!!

I love going to concerts and the beat is so loud I feel it inside.

You would have enjoyed this then. We just felt they overdid it a bit.

Music festivals are great fun. The young people always seem to like to hear their music played loudly.







You are still adventurous.
