Tribeadelic festival

[dryfter]

From 29/12/07-01/01/08 I was at the Tribeadelic festival, on a semi-wooded, but dry, site a few hundred Km north of Melbourne. I should write more about it sometime.. it was good fun, but amazingly hot. We spent most of the days in the Goulburn river, and danced and flittered around the area at night. The visible stars were amazing, and we saw so, so many shooting stars.
Most of my photos show the place looking dry and dusty, so I haven't uploaded many of those - they don't capture the feeling of dancing in the hot daytime underneath misting sprinklers in the shade, or resting on submerged logs as the river swirls past you.

Is that really the colour of the sky there?

It was very piercingly blue most of the time!

Yes. Yes, it really is.

That looks fab :-)

Apparently another festival, further north, was flooded such that the exit road's bridge was washed away, and it was going to take a week to sort it out.
..
meanwhile, the new report said, diesel fuel for the generators, and food, was being airlifted in by helicopter, and the music was still going, and people's "spirits were high". What an excuse - sorry I'm a week late back to work, but I was stranded at a festival. Damn ;)

Still, ours was probably a little less washed out, what with it being 44 in the shade the whole time.

Sounds like it was fun. :) I'm not sure I've ever seen a shooting star, or at least, not that I can remember. (Although now I am scared that if I saw such things, I would be blinded and the triffids would get me. Eek!)
