Guest masativa Posted July 14, 2002 Share Posted July 14, 2002 Hello! I am planning my first trip to Australia in December for the OutbackEclipseFestival from Japan and recently found out that the venue is going to be held in LyndHurst. My question is what is in the area besides the festival that might be interesting? for I will probably have only two weeks in Australia. And one other is would it be wiser to rent a car rather than travel by bus? thanx in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aussie Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 Lyndhurst is in the middle of nowhere - 700kms north of Adelaide and over 1500kms from Sydney and Melbourne. Near by is Woomera - Australia's world famous refugee prison. I would suggest, if possible, grabbing a car and driving from Lyndhurst directly north through alice springs, ayres rock, etc and then out east towards the barrier reef and cairns and from there south through byron bay. But Australia is a fucking massive place so there are a lot of options! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Spiralfire Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 OR if your a mad keen doofer, i hear there is another party on in South Australia the day after Ozclipse finishes (the venue is about a days drive from Lyndhurst) it's a 3 dayer also... but of course you would have to be pretty keen to party to go to both ;] have a good one Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest aussie Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 there is also the massive earthcore festival near melbourne a couple of days before the eclipse festival. earthcore artists this year include juno reactor and reefer decree. check www.earthcore.com.au Also, there are a shit load of weekend bushdoofs throughout victoria over summer so you could make it a purely doofing holiday Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest masativa Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 thanx for the replies aussie & Spiralfire! WooooooooooW! just checked the earthcore site and man! i wanna be there just to see Juno Reactor! they rocked last time they were here but the dance floor was just too crowed as alway in japan I felt sick. From looking at LonelyPlanet's map it's about 500-700 Km from Victoria and Lyndhurst. How much time would it take you think? u don't have traffic jams do u?(just kiddin!) I probably will not go inland and to the east because of the limited time i will have. damn only 2 weeks! but im still young and can apply for a working visa so i'll save it for next time i guess. btw, why are psy parties called doofs in Australia? cause of Nick Doof? Bom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest cpt_shiner Posted July 15, 2002 Share Posted July 15, 2002 ah the ever eternal 'doof' question, some say its because of the sound of the bass drum, some say it was a ledgendary party... the truth is that we dont know, and forever it shall remain a mystery!
