arts factory - byron bay

welcome to the town of beautiful people, most of them hippy wannabe's....ouch!

 

ok its day 2 of the excursion....i'm gettin quite used to my own company....

 

so if you've never been to the art factory....its very hippyish, its quite cool actually...its got a lake with big permanent teepee's around it, a campsite and the dorms in the main building. its full of beautiful people, sporting new dreads, fishermans pants which they bought in thailand on the way over and basically a lot of hippy wannabes. is that cruel to say??? basically, i was in the kitchen half an hour ago and over heard an american girl frying her organic eggs complaining that there wasn't a starbucks in this town....hmmm.

so i'm camping here...the kitchen is minging. ants everywhere and possums too. the actual campsite is quite nice. everything was lovely until i spotted two rats creeping outside the door of my tent the night before last. i ran to the kitchen and i saw a girl and just said " there are rats outside my tent" and her reply before walking off was "welcome to australia"....ehmmm we've rats in ireland too love, but thanks for your help anyways. so i ended up getting a boy to throw things at my tent to scare them away until i got in.

another thing i have noticed...people aren't very welcoming at all here. everyone tends to hang around in large groups around tables and i am generally very outgoing, and i will talk to anyone. maybe its because i'm not bronzed with dreadlocks i dunno.....
