      I know what you mean as Kiwis tend to be pretty chill and sort of grounded whereas most young Aussie blokes are mad cunts. In saying that, I definitely wasn't a "stable and sensible" brother at all when I was there. When in Rome, as they say. :p

    Yeah, went to a few of these when I was backpacking around Queensland. Was a bit of a different vibe than this with literally just a clearing in the bush with a pond, a dj hut with decks and a couple of pa speakers. A butterfly as large as a crow landed on my arm and was just chilling. To this day I don't know if it was real or not.

  • @jablinskischair7158
    @jablinskischair7158 Рік тому +334

    I have mixed feelings about this. Its kind of frustrating they let you film this tbh. Doofs are meant to be a place of acceptance and free of judgement where you can do what you want and be you and I feel like filming these people in their vulnerable states kind of violates that side of the culture.
    Filming at doofs like this is normally very frowned upon because it shatters that safety from judgement from the outside world. Sure these guys consented in their intoxicated state but its not really a good look and I am sure some of them wouldn't be happy with how they have been portrayed.
    This isn't just a public nightclub, this is a place where the etiquette and culture should be respected.
    Anyway great vid lads!

      I was about to comment the same! Was nice to see a peaceful festival but unless consent was obtained when the attendees were completely sober, this shouldn’t have been posted on the internet. Hopefully all people shown gave their consent to be filmed in their vulnerable states.

    Fun for a visit, recommended at least once on the journey of life, but most of them stayed way too long and are just there for the drugs. I don't know how anyone can "party" on LSD it's such a powerful drug that completely reshapes what you thought reality was and who you are.

    It's near Kempsey. That service center they were at with the caltex and ampol is located on the south bound lane of the southern Kempsey entrance. I would say either some towards crescent head or close by.
