Myself and 5 friends drove from Sydney to Lorne on Australia's Great Ocean Road to bring in the new year over a 3-day music festival. I was thinking that this would be the last party before people get married, hit 30 and have children.
I had a surprisingly relaxing time and managed to take a yoga class. I enjoyed listening to music whilst lying and napping on the hill in the sun. I enjoyed the big acts: The Living End, Public Enemy and Joan Jett and the Blackhearts. Some other acts I liked: Jezabels, The Beautiful Girls, Ash Grunwald. I did go for the variety and enjoyed the other music, but it wasn't so memorable for me. Peaches DJ show was pretty funny though. I found myself the last person standing that night dancing to her music.
The camping situation was quite incredible. There were 16,000 people camping on site. cars were parked in rows next to each other and tents behind the cars. The loos and showers weren't too bad too. The crowd was the best I'd experienced, there was no pushing at all, which I have not experienced. I didn't feel too old like I think my friends did, I think it's about attitude. We were older, but I was okay with that. Everyone seemed to be wearing denim cut-off shorts, ankle boots, ray bans and a loose fitting singlets with huge arm holes.
I liked the surroundings, it was a farm with some forest. One night I went to bed with my gloves, beanie and thermal on. I woke up that morning really hot, and that day high a 39 degree high. We went to the beach at Lorne, it was a truly beautiful day at the beach with hot, dry heat, cool waters and blue skys.
Looking forward to going for another camping trip and listening to more music. It really is good to spend time with friends while on holidays.
