Sustain festival took place over the road yesterday. It's a showcase for local eco groups plus food and entertainment. It's not a huge event which gives it a good community feel. John, being a postie in Dulwich Hill, ran into numerous people from his beat.The best thing is being able to get food without having to leave home - I went for the Turkish Gozleme.
The band, The Bakery , were a great mix of humour, reggae/roots beats and spectacle. And there was a lot of them!
My only gripe was with a woman from the State Emergency Service. She was helping to man the SES tent, so I asked her for advice about possible Cook's River flooding. With my home being on the floodplain, it's sensible to prepare for the worst. "I wouldn't buy there. I just wouldn't live there" was her response. I know that the SES are volunteers, but those with no PR skills should perhaps be shepherded away from SES information kiosk.
And if you were wondering, there was a cow there - but no yellow Wellies.
