One of the pleasant discoveries at the last event, held by a river, were ethereal tunes issuing from the depths of the bush, occasionally. (There was no accessible bush on the previous two Nambassas which were held near the beach.) I found I wasn't alone in finding pleasant bits of bush to be a lovely escape from the heat of the day.
