A Weekend in the Playground

Let me start by saying that the Playground Weekender that Mandylights designed and operated over the weekend was a great festival. It definitely is one to keep an eye on for the next few years as it grows because it has a great Homebake meets Woodford Folk Festival feel about it and has secured a remote but very cool site.
Now when I say remote I mean it's around an hour and a half from Sydney which when we're talking about a 3 day festival might not sound so far away but when you add a car ferry that usually services the small population of Wisemans and decides it's all a bit too much at 3am the night of load out you end up with a substantially longer, dirtier and did i mention longer drive ahead of you. 
Despite all the perils of ferries and outdoor festivals it was a great weekend and one I will look forward to doing (from a houseboat) next year. Top work to Mike and Richard for operating the two stages and GY, Claire and the Cairellie boys for making it all happen.
