To mark the end of summer we strolled along to Corin Bank, up in the hills above Canberra. The trip there was certainly a nice contrast to Woodford – pack the car, drive for 45 minutes, we’re there 🙂

I must tip my hat to the hippy guy we saw riding up there, on some clunky old mountain bike, that’s a pretty serious ride with gear – and the bike didn’t look like it was really helping.

We were planning to camp with Sonia & crowd but couldn’t find their spot, and it seemed pretty packed where they were meant to be, so we snagged a little spot out on the edge of the camp ground with a nice view. I cleverly forgot the tent inner, but it didn’t really matter, the bugs weren’t too bad and the weather was good.

Highlights were many, but I’d have to plug Mal Webb, the Ellis Collective, the Cashews, and Darren Hanlon who did a repeat on-the-grass performance, although voluntarily this time. And all the bands I can’t remember who were tops too!

I also loved the village atmosphere, and the crowd-painted toilets. And the bike jousting was a show-stopper, not to be missed.

To close the weekend they had Archie Roach and Ruby Hunter, an odd choice I thought, but they were actually just right – singing simple heart-felt songs as the sun went down.
