“Woodfordia is a living, breathing cultural ecosystem… fragile, precious and utterly unique.” - Kate Miller-Heidke

We’re stoked to share Kate’s lending her beautiful voice to A Forest of Goodwill, our campaign to raise $5.7 million to secure and protect 500 acres of Woodfordia’s land for generations to come.

And October 23rd marks Creative Australia ’s first national Giving Day for the Arts. Our goal is to raise $100,000 in 24 hours to help secure Woodfordia in trust for ever.

Every gift helps protect the land, the habitats, and the legacy that make Woodfordia truly unique.

At last year's Festival Merpire met Tessa Fleur when Tessa was volunteering backstage. 🎸

Months later, Tessa was chosen to open for Merpire's show in Brisbane. 🥰

Coincidence...
Or the way the Woodfordia Universe works?🧐

You can decide in our latest episode with the definite one and only Harley Breen who needed a delicious cold one (not sponsored) to get through the Friday night hiccups.

Technology aside, it was a beauty of a yarn and we can't wait to welcome Tessa, Rhi (Merpire) and her Mum back to Woodford again this year.

We love you MerMum and can't wait to see your outfits!

BTW: Merpire has a show tonight for her new album launch at Howler Melbourne. You can get tix via the first link in the comments.

And catch Tessa at the The Junk Bar in New Farm supporting SYLVIE on their upcoming Aus Tour. Tix in second comment.

Driving home from a weekend away and need some wholesome history with a bita spice?

Listen to Robin Clayfield share some of the origin story of chai to Australia with Harley Breen.

They discuss the infamous Peace Train, a stampede that changed everything, permaculture design principles applied to festival spaces, and why the Chai Tent became so much more than just a place to grab a drink; it was a sacred container for jamming, connection, and those 2am moments when you just needed to chill the funk out.

You can also catch it on your favourite streaming service. 💚

BTW The Chai Tent returns after a decade + away.

"We had no business plan, no rules... Because there'd never been one (A Chai Tent - Anywhere in Australia). So we could do what we wanted..."Grab a warm chai...

A beautiful Sunday reflection to think about where we will be this New Year’s Eve and how our actions communicate what’s important to us. 💚

No two people are the same.
No two experiences are the same.

Everyone,
out there
exploring
the World.

Making friends
and making memories
that just might last a lifetime.

If you're coming for
your 1st time
or for your 38th time
we can't wait to see you
smiling and shaking a tail feather
on the hill at Woodfordia.
