We almost didn’t get to Woodford this year. We’d been planning on a January holiday in New Zealand, which ruled out going to Woodford, but when that plan fell through we sort of forgot that made Woodford a possibility again.

In the end the thought of all our friends heading to Woodford without us was too much to bear, so we searched frantically for cheap flights, and found none. So driving it was, and the inland route for a change (Newell) got us there only a little bit frazzled after a day and a half of zooming through the outback.

I didn’t take many photos, it pretty much looks the same every year – though I did try and get a few more shots of bands and other acts. In this collection are:

• The Panics – one of our favourites
• Kerry O’Brien interviewing Bob Hawke!
• The Panics again 🙂
• Clare Bowditch – who was kooky and great
• Whacko & Blotto – our fishes’ name sakes
• The Audreys – great folkies, with much more pep than a few years back
• Weird spaghetti monster at the Endorphin show
• Timothy Caroll – my big find for the festival – loved them
• Mr Percival – amazing one man show

Intermixed with a few random photos. JBT were also great, really liked their new material, though didn’t get any decent shots of them.

The weather was good this year, possibly the best ever. It did rain, but mainly just the odd shower, which kept the temps way down and made the hangovers less painful. Though it did lead to some slippery slopes and nasty twisted ankles 🙁

But all in all it was another great Woody!
