Illawarra Folk Festival at Jamberoo, several hours south of Sydney, Sept? 1998. It was fantastic - lovely spring weather, great music & company. I've been to this festival every year since - even to it's now held in mid summer & I normally stay indoors in hot weather.

It was also the first time in my life I'd ever been camping - I was 46. Friend driving me lent me his old tent. It was a shabby old canvas 2-person tent & I needed help putting it up (did I say I'd never been camping before?) & we looked in envy at the family nearby putting up 2 dome tents. Soon after I bought a small 2-person dome & used that for years until me poor old knees got too sore to kneel, so replaced it with a large dome I can stand in!
