Yellowfields 2024 Nabawa WA

After we get back from our volunteer shift we walk over to the Tavern to have some lunch. $20 voucher supplied for volunteering, and there's cooked food ready (bain marie) to serve. Roger has a plate of chicken and beef noodles with some chips, I have butter chicken with rice and 2 curry puffs. Then back to our caravan to freshen up and get changed. Roger goes into the event before me to find a position to set up our chairs. I get phone calls, 1st from Robert re to find clean sheets for bed in Dunkeld, then from Jordan Plunkett to let us know Dani has delivered their son, Jackson George John Plunkett, 6 to 7 weeks premature. All doing well, Jackson has been transferred (flown) to Melbourne for best care and Jordan and Dani will follow to join him tomorrow. 🤞🥰 I go and join Rog at the event - he's got us a beaut position with our camp chairs up near the stage and close to the 'dancing' standing area. It's come up very windy and as the day progresses it gets cold. Glad Roger and I can just walk across the oval (be less than 300m?) to our caravan to rug up etc as needed. Bit cheeky, but I sneak back to have a couple of drinks too! The event bar prices are expensive. Roger does buy a drink. Roger also helps Toni pack away her tent and awning at her camp as the wind has wrecked her set up. She'll be camping in Amanda's gazebo (out front of Amanda's caravan which is a wind block) tonight. The event goes off well, there seems to be a good size crowd (we think they came close to their expected 3000) and the set up is great with food vendors etc. We enjoyed the performances of Beccy Cole, Dylan Wright and I was happily in the 'mosh pit' for Adam Brand and Shannen Noll. Performances finished just after 10pm - and it was amazing how quickly the crowd just left! Think the cold weather helped with that!
Great event - hope it continues annually like the organisers hope (Nabawa Tavern proprietors being the main payers). Shall watch with interest 🤞 Think they've got a fair bit right - just needs some tweeks - which is understable for 1st big event held here.Read more
