DAY 1
So our first day of the Indent tour is already drawing to a close. I’m currently sitting in a cosy motel in the heart of West Wyalong with the rest of the Indent team Meg and Chris. As I’m writing this, Chris is reading this weeks edition of The Brag, and Meg is watching a snowboarding film on her laptop. Before I surrender myself to sleep, I want to share with all of you some of what we have experienced on our journey so far.
We began our journey with a 7 hour road trip from our little office in Surry Hills to West Wyalong, a small town approximately 1.5 hours south west of Wagga. A couple of hours into our trip, we came across The Grand Marino. This is a photo of us standing next to the biggest sheep in Australia, if not the world?!
As we continued on, about an hour later I spotted a pony! I jumped out and walked slowly up to it, and to my suprise it came up to me and let me pat him (or her?) on the head! I snapped this photo before we drove off….isn’t it cute?!
Three hours later, we arrived in the Shire of Bland.
After dining at the local Senior and Citizens club and getting a good nights shut eye, we woke up this morning feeling pretty excited about meeting with some members of the local community. We had our first Roundtable of the tour which gave us the chance to discuss the needs of the West Wyalong music and youth scene with local teachers, events coordinators, council members and media.
After enjoying a great lunch at the local Cafe Peckish, we then ran our first workshop of the tour. It was a great chance to meet with some local youths who are as passionate about music and events as we are! We have found a great team that we will work with throughout the tour to make it extra amazing! Check ‘em out…
So that brings me to the end of the first chapter of our tour. Tomorrow morning we drive to Cowra, so stay tuned for more updates from the road from yours truly…
