Since you girls dont't blog your Sydney trip, I will haha. Sydney trip for Defqon.1
Landed and got a bus to central cos the train line was getting fixed :|
The train ride 1hr to the west of Sydney was long and to say the least.... interesting. Gave us a bad first impression of Sydney. Transit police (our version of train inspectors) carry weapons and the more west we headed the more derelect it became. Went through suburbs that were like dominated by housing commissions make Footscray / St Albans / Sunshine look tame. Either way was worth the wait.
The event was half awesome and wait for it.... half epic! 11 hours of hardstyle, 5 stages surrounded by water with the best Djs and a 10,000+ crowd. Can't ask for much more. Here are pics from Harvs digi cam cos I cbf lugging my DSLR lol.

Pics don't do it justice. Main stage was about 35m high, and made of scrap - Defqon's theme.
Some random kids
Scrap attack
Look closely enough and you see its made of car parts, bath tubs and rafts.
Scored a photo with 'The Prophet' one of my favourite Dj's and founder of SCANTRAXX records. My other favourites are signed to SCANTRAXX. He is like what Rae morris is to you makeup girls or Beyonce to Mai or Kylie Minogue is to Trang or if Drew was to meet GSP or if the whole crew of Kingdom Hearts rocked up on Vic's doorstep or if liz was to marry that blonde kid from Digimon, matt or something!?!? or what cake is to a fat kid lol
Was 30 degrees all day super hot so was a welcomed relief when the sun dropped behind the Blue Mountains
Lasers begin
Pew Pew Pew
Euphoric
Sea of people that the digi cam could capture, wish we had a wide angle lens lol. Just imagine this for 360 degrees was a mission and a half to find my friends. The last set ended with fireworks which don't have pics of :( maybe I can chuck up the video. Had an awesome time :) want to come back next year, if they come again. That night crashed on the floor of a mates hotel room, had mad back pains needed a drew-asage bad. Next day we did touristy stuff before our afternoon flight. This was when Sydney redeemed it self. The suburbs are shit but the city is pretty nice. The whole city area around the bay was an pretty good idea. Well done mister Sydney
A bridge we found
Randoms + bridge
Randoms + funny looking thing in the background
Got a bite to eat and laughing at how messed up their city is. Melbourne CBD grid shape FTW !
Best feeling kicking of the shoes after so long on my feet
Got my Tamron 70-300mm Zoom lens recently and went down to Winton Raceway for a drift meet with a couple mates. First one ive attended since the last time I drove at the track, but car is gone now :( We were still prepping the car till 2am so had 2 hours sleep and we left at 4am cos the track is half to NSW so far lol zzzZZzzzz. Panning shots are quite difficult cos as the car is coming down the track your constantly zooming in and out to fill the frame and at the same time you have to jump on the focus ring. But toward the end of the day got some better shots. Practice makes perfect I guess.
