From Melbourne to Perth via expensive plane, from Perth to Busselton via nice bus ride, from Busselton-proper to Southbound festival grounds via hitchhiking. Clare and I started our volunteer duties on Wednesday morning. It was a sweet deal, we only worked about 3 hours the first day and around 8 hours the next, which allowed us free camping and our tickets to the 2day festival! We met a nice group of Aussies, Germans, Belgians, and Welsh people while workin: we set up the pamper camper tents... I am an expert tent setter-upper now.
The first day we saw the Head and the Heart, Tijuana Cartel, Beirut... here's the full line up http://www.southboundfestival.com.au/artists. There were two stages fairly close to one another and it was easy to bounce back and forth between the performances. Clare did some good work collecting bottles/cans, the deal was $5 per bag that went into a mega-cage sculpture in the shape of "SB." She cleaned up well, banking about $75 at the end of the two days and was a main contributor to the finished art piece.
