🎥 ROVER FILMS — ONE OF OUR OWN
We’re stoked to have Dave from Rover Films, one of our very own Defender community, behind the camera across the Defender Fest weekend!
Dave will be roaming the event capturing everything that makes Defender Fest what it is — the Defenders, the people, the action, the campfires, the laughs, the adventures and all those unscripted moments in between.
So if you spot Dave and the camera, give him a wave, tell him your story and don’t be shy — you might just find yourself in the official Defender Fest film!
This isn’t just about filming an event. It’s about capturing our tribe, our culture and our weekend together so we can relive it long after the dust has settled.🎬

đź“ŁTHE DOAC CAMP BREAKFAST!

Early starts deserve good coffee and Bbq breakfast goodness!

The DOAC Camp Breakfast Café will be firing up every morning of Defender Fest from 6:00am–9:00am, in Base Camp 1, giving our campers the perfect place to grab a fresh coffee and a hearty breakfast, catch up with mates and fuel up for another massive day of Defender Fest action.
Proudly supported by .5CoffeeCo., the café is run by our club members, with all proceeds going directly back to Defenders of Australia Club to help support the club, its members and future events.
So roll out of the swag, follow the smell of coffee and join the tribe for breakfast!
6AM–9AM • EVERY MORNING • DEFENDER FEST WEEKEND
Good Coffee. Good Tucker. Good Mates. One Great Club.

Remember, we will still have another supporter Mowbray Coffee Co up in the event areas for those that miss chow time in the morning 🫶

đź“ŁUPDATE!

We recently have had a few messages regarding our use of AI to try and parody the atmosphere we are trying to create for the inaugural Defender Fest!

BE PART OF THE STORY!

This is event is a non-profit event, designed and coordinated by the DEFENDERS OF AUSTRALIA CLUB for the community we love!
