Palm Creek 2012


Palm Creek.

Palm Creek is a magical festival held beneath a mountain and next to a creek in Nth QLD. The air is always crisp as it is held each year at the beginnings of winter. Families come from near and far across the state to spend four days with like-minded people, listening to beautiful local and foreign musicians and eating delightful organic foods. There are workshops galore of all varieties. The people are all so friendly and everyone there seems to have a constant smile, the deep longing to dance late into the night and the willingness to invite strangers into their lives.

This year Aaron and I packed up Friday and set off on the small roadtrip late in the afternoon. Steph was in the backseat alongside all of the gear. I kept getting so excited the closer we got, my 5th Palm Creek. I shared a stall with my beautiful nymph like friend Eri, her friend Gabby and partner John. We all had our hand-made wares for sale. I have been making pendants out of my recycled cutlery. Eri spent the whole time doing hair wraps for lovely ladies. It was beautiful to watch her spindle their hair with arrays of colours, infusing her time and care into a part of their locks. 

The whole time was such an unforgettable mind set.  Crisp Air. Intense music. Homemade Foods. Stars. Seeing Saturn. The Creek. Picnics. Sharing a stall. Great company. Warm Hugs. Fog. Fire twirlers. Sunrises. Sunsets. Happy barefooted children. So much love in such a small amount of time.
