The Doof Thread

A bus makes sense, this sort of thing seems a bit harsh.
JS do you mean they have a permit to hold it and there will be a police presence?
When they used to have it at Fairbridge that was always the case but it was still awesome. I think it just depends on the purpose of the coppers being there.

yeah they have a permit to throw the doof so there will be some sort of police presence im guessing.i wonder if the doof got canceled.there was a massive storm last night in bunbury rain hail n super strong winds wonder if it made its way to perth.....

Wow that looks like my scene, still havent been to a doof in qld near bris yet :( would love if u could let me know when Busty?
 
yeah mad pics, its been like 10 yrs + since i've been to those kind of parties, i miss them. I went to the first blues and roots festival in belongil fields a lifetime ago (i think it was the first 2 blues and roots anyway, it was in alot of mud) and had quite a bit of all night party action going on, we camped there 2 yrs in a row, and the free 7 mile beach NYE/Day doofs on the beach (was it 7 mile beach? i think so, we had to walk about 7 miles along the beach to get down to it) a couple of yrs later, they were pretty awesome, and quite a few around sydney in national parks and some warehouses and parks and stuff ages ago also.. Good times tho. vibe tribe, ohms not bombs, trip 2 space etc..
 
I read ur trip report recently from a yr or so ago busty when u and ur chick went to byron, that was a nice read, the bike ride one.. just stumbled upon it, bought back some similar memories of times around the shire.
 
We try and head down there once every couple of months or so, some are with the kids and are PG rated where as some are more like that trip report. ;) Some of the best usually involve a pumping act at the Great Northern. Fat Freddy's Drop was an all time favourite. Pity the doof scene down there is a nightmare, stories of gangs of local youths starting fights and breaking into cars make me glad the South East Qld scene is the polar opposite.

Yeah the place is supposedly really bad for violence these days.. I dont know if I'd really wanna be around the main streets of byron town after dark too much anymore, especially in the early hours of the morning. I recall there was some party at a hall out mullum way, cant think of the areas name right now and a heap of youths went on a supposedly drunk and drug (ice i think it said) rampage and smashed a heap of cars up in the car park for no reason. I recall reading it in the echo when i was up there. I think it might have coorabell hall.

FFD are epic, love their music.

In another Doof centric forum there is a thread literally hundreds of pages long discussing the problems surrounding the NNSW doof scene. The majority blame meth, but to be honest the whole culture of some of the young guys around that area is just off. I have never had any problems wandering around Byron Bay, even in the most messy of conditions, but I've never hung around Nimbin after dark either, which seems to be where most of the trouble makers come from. Its a shame because there are some beautiful spots in that part of the world that I would love to get dirty and have a stomp.

The doof on the weekend was only around 500 people and we had one guy lose his shit, get naked and start screaming for his mother in the middle of the night. I have to admit I slept through it but by all accounts he eventually came back to earth and probably slinked away more embarrassed than anything else. The sign of a good doof is plenty of little kids running around playing spotlight and generally have a good safe time oblivious to the antics of many of the grown ups.
 
I'm from Sydney, have been to a few NNSW parties a few years back and they always turned out to be horrible experiences.
The problem was the violence that erupted at literally every party I went to up there. I saw massive brawls in the mornings, I even saw a girl receive a king hit blow to the side of the head for no fucking reason.
Not interested.
The parties down here are beautiful. No violence, rare freak outs, plenty of families. Yes, the way it should be :)

Woooooo, Hydraglyph confirmed for New Psycle NYE party :)

Just got back from an 8 day, 30,000 people psychedelic festival in Portugal last month.. Which for me was the epitome of the scene, unreal!

As for back in Australia.. Beatings, Shotguns? The hell parties are you going too lol, sounds like fight club out there.. I guess it depends on the crew putting them on.. bit rough though.

Doofs have always confused me.

I would love to be able to love them, but I get the impression they aren't what a lot of my friends revere them for.

Granted, i've only been to one (newpsycle this year) and the vibe wasn't *nasty,* but I got the impression that it wasn't REALLY about spirituality and nature, but more about having a free space to basically go nuts and do whatever drugs one wants. NOT that i'm against that, but I don't really like a drug party being dressed up as a spiritual experience.

Some of the host families kids started shooting guns in the air at 3 in the morning and riding dirt bikes through the crowd and yelling.

Standing on the side of the dancefloor coming up on some pills, a kid literally started having a spastic freak out right infront of me; it wasn't nice to watch.

Just a few things which I thought were a bit nasty and not really in the spirit of friendliness and good vibes.

What i'm saying is I really WANT to fall in love with doofing like some of my friends, but I can't get rid of the niggling sensation they're not really what they're chalked up to be. Maybe it's just the NSW or Aus scene, i'm not sure.

As far as i'm concerned I'd rather leave nature alone and do my drugs in a city, atleast I can crash in bed.
Sorry for the rant.

Guns and motorbikes? It does sound like a shitty party that masqueraded as a doof to me. A lot of parties around here actually drop the tempo of the music in the middle of the night and provide more ambient DJ's almost as a way to calm the site and allow those of us who are no longer 24 hr party people and those with small kids to snooze for a few hours before lifting the tempo as the sun rises for a group dawn stomp. The better parties are the ones with enough decorum to have dozens of kids under 10 running around the campsites with out a care in the world. Sure there are drugs but everyone is responsible enough to be aware of those people around them who are sober (which believe it or not are usually in the majority) . Anyone who is obviously off their face and causing trouble are usually quickly asked to settle down or leave.

The more spiritual doofs usually begin with some sort of pray or blessing. Around 4pm we gather around the dance floor and usually hold hands, meditate, burn some herbs and have a quiet laugh and a playful group hug. I am no means a fuzzy hearted hippy (in fact I stood out like dogs balls in a def lepard t shirt last time), but I do appreciate the sentiment. It allows everyone to get together before the dark envelops the campsite and make a few friends. I have also been at doofs where the music is stopped for half an hour while everyone performs an "emu parade" and picks up any rubbish around the site. If these things sound unlikely at the event you attended then I suggest find a better crew and give it a second chance.
