A beautiful festival with beautiful people! That doesn't even touch on the location and music. We LOVED it all! But as my Mum noted when I was telling her about how wonderful it was, she correctly asked if we had been anywhere yet that was NOT beautiful - good point Mum!
Sharing the fest with new friends, Lucy and Adrian, was also pretty special (& helpful for the us two travelers to have others to communicate with). They had been at Platypus Bushcamp in Finch Hatton so we coaxed them along with promises of music and merry times. Noone was led astray as the
fest was all that and more. Thanks truly go to Mattie Barker from the band,
The Lamplights, as he gave Matt the heads up. Of course, The Lamplights' sets were the highlights of our fest. Those boys have both heart and talent in their music. Other great finds were
Siskin River and
Wes Carr.
So after daily swims in the crystal clear river, music fills and a little slack line balancing (thanks Adrian), we were on our way to Cape Hillsborough only just back down the road to the coast. We were all (Adrian & Lucy were heading that way as well) in desperate need of showers and laundry.
This area also didn't disappoint with kangaroos relaxing under the clothes lines and wallabies munching on something on the beach every sunrise. After a couple days including sitting by the pool (still stinger season) and a hike through rainforest, caves and beach side, we farewelled Matt's manpanion, Adrian, and lovely Lucy to head separate directions.
