I was taken for a bike ride today, along the coast on the east side of Melbourne, all the way out to the festival. Was a good ride, felt wierd doing a bit of excercise...

This place was like a campsite, way off the beaten track, mainly for surfing but there were some families there also, in their luxury tents that resemble houses (might as well buy a bloody house down there). The SPOT X part which was for the backpacking surfers such as ourselves, had a an outdoor drinking area, full of tables...
