Colin and Liz in their dear new bumblebee van (which they will be galavanting around Europe in soon), Reece + Matthew enjoying the blistering unrelenting heat.
There was a man selling helium balloons at the festival, a huge bunch which included characters like Spongebob Squarepants (Bob l'Eponge), Dora the Explorer and other Nickelodeon cartoons. On the first day of the festival while we waiting for the Dead Weather to come on, we heard a huge crowd of people chanting"Liberez Bob L'Eponge". Then we saw a Spongebob balloon go sailing up into the sky, followed soon after by a Patrick balloon (Patrick is Spongebob's best friend on the show). It was so funny, and it continued to happen throughout the festival. We noticed the balloon man had lots of Spongebob balloons the next day to meet demand, and a Spongebob was liberated at most bands we went to see. The photo is of Patrick floating slowly and dreamily into the sky behind good old Bob l'Eponge (the tiny speck at the top).

Showing the euro's how to rock antipodean style as Australia's proudest cultural exports - Airborne hit the stage in a blur of bogan glory. "Get a chicko roll up ya!!" Colin yelled at one particularly beefy solo while squashing a beer can with his forehead. Magic!
