March 8-10, 2008: Golden Plains

Summer is on its agency out, but in that place was withal fourth dimension for a slowly bout of sun, music together with grubby tent-living at Golden Plains music festival. With a sum burn ban inward force, nosotros only packed muesli bars, rice crackers together with a LOT of H2O for sustenance. The stalls provided the rest...

For our commencement meal, I made a beeline for the Hare Krishna tent, ordering a feast plate ($9) together with extra koftas ($4). These folks are thus consistent inward their offerings!

Here's the late-night, overexposed vegie burger ($8) Michael topped upwards on later.

On Lord's Day morn around people's commencement priority was coffee. We were upwards relatively early, thus Michael alone had to aspect 20 minutes (!) for his.

Then it was unopen to other 20 infinitesimal aspect for vegie brekky wraps ($8 each) together with juice. These roti wraps were pipage hot together with filled amongst egg, pesto, caramelised onions, tomato plant together with cheese. Best morning-after breakfast. EVER.

For a slowly luncheon I scouted out wood-fired pizzas ($8 each). They were hot, doughy together with delicious inward the shade, but I actually felt for the stall staff, working past times the woods burn on a scorching twenty-four hours similar this.

Obviously an afternoon ice-cream was necessary. Irrewarra's All Natural gourmet ice-creams were lovely, though their richness was wasted inward the heat. My blackberry ($4) together with Michael's double-scoop amongst huckleberry ($5) were flecked amongst lots of existent seeds.

Michael had a roasted vege panini for dinner (not pictured), together with thus got a hankering for chips ($5.50) when it was my dinner time.

After assisting Michael amongst his chips, I tucked into a waffle amongst berries ($8). It was surprisingly expert character nether the circumstances!

This was typical festival nutrient - expensive together with non peculiarly nutritious. However nosotros were impressed past times the abundance of vegetarian choices. We didn't fifty-fifty larn a endangerment to sample the nachos, falafel wraps, pasta or slurpees!
