Great
weekend at Peats Ridge Festival outside Sydney
- 12 hours drive each way in the bus with drummer
Shane and bass player Christian, but well worth
it for a festival in a valley surrounded by creeks
and wooded hills down a long winding dirt track...
much like home! Thanks to Matt Grant for inviting
us, and Damion Cunningham for looking after us
- we loved it.

Back
from London to the goat farm in the hills behind
the Sunshine Coast in Australia... it's very hot,
and the shack needs some serious dusting but apart
from that, no snakes moved in while we were away
so we're very happy to be home. And kidding season's
over so no baby goats to feed for the time being,
though the vege garden needs several days weeding...
ah the life of rock'n'roll!
In case you're wondering what a shack made out
of wood, tin and potato sacks looks like, here's
a pic... |
