I've experienced all 10 Woodfords but no Malenys.

As a mudcat lurker I sang in the shed without a badge. The shed really worked well this year - drowned the diddlies and dragged in the passing punters with its joyful sounds.

The fire event wasn't very pagan this year I thought...
And after six days of bliss a good pagan blast can really overwhelm the senses - new director this year so they say. But Jenny Fitz with a 200 strong choir sounded pretty good where I was.

As someone who would rather cool than hot, you do get used to the
SE Qld climate - walk slowly, drink lots (water or darker fluids), avoid the sun and chase the breeze. Early nights ease the pain of the forced 6:30am tent evacuation as the sun hits the awning and the inside temperature goes from 20 to 35 in 15 minutes. The last 2 years program has made it possible to drift off to the tent at 10-10:30 without regrets...

PS We missed you John and Nicole, but John Reed did a pretty good stand-in job at the brekkies. And he plays a mean cittern...
