Aussie Joy's Life

Finally getting a moment to reflect on Easterfest 2011.  Enjoy! Festival was going amazing. Ticket sales were record breaking. The campground had sold out days before the festival even started. The vibe was absolutely amazing. Anticipation was at an all time high. Thursday I spent the day in youth camping welcoming people to festival – [...]

Hey Friends… Just wanted to check in and say Easterfest is seriously just round the corner.  Our office is a mad house and we’re hoping to get everything organised in time…. but whatever the case… whether we keep up or not it’s all happening.  We’ve got crew already living on site (on the park) nine [...]

It’s 8:30pm on a Friday night… I’m still at the Easterfest office…  the dad jokes are getting worse – considering all the males in the office have ACTUALLY gone home early tonight! There is a nervous sense of excitement looming as the days before ‘bump in’ close in on us.  The program is being designed… [...]

Alabaster Box’s lead singer, Naarah has just launched her new album called ‘The Story’.  The songs really are stories… reactions to the unpredictable and somewhat uncertain circumstances life throws at us.

It really has been way too long since I’ve written a proper update… so here goes.  I’ve been back in Australia now for nearly two months.  It’s been great catching up with my family and helping my little sister prepare for her wedding which is next weekend!  She turns 21 tomorrow and then gets married [...]

Profound considering this, I believe was the first original work he’d ever released. Check out the video below. There is a precious moment towards the [...]

One of my favourite moments this past weekend was running into an old mate at Albury, NSW airport when we were catching our 6:30am flight to Adelaide. Matt was one of the pilots flying the little Dash we were on! I had tried catching up with he and his wife while I was in Sydney [...]

Another day on the road… yesterday we traveled through the back roads and over the Great Dividing Range to get from Taree to get to Tamworth. The shot seen here was taken out the window along the way. I love driving through the bush of Australia. Especially when its all green! Very uncommon. Tour has [...]
