This is an open letter to the people who think it’s somehow ok to disturb every living creature within a five-kilometre radius with their repetitive bass and drum frequencies which apparently passes for music.

Where do you people get off? If you don’t give a shit about others, spare a thought for the animals and birds. (Don’t get me started about koalas and Splendour/Bluesfest.)

Once again we have a techno/doof/trance (whatever it’s called this week) going on in the nature reserve on the north side of the Brunswick River and it’s now midnight and I can’t fricking sleep because of the pounding bass sounds coming through the bush.

As they say ‘get a room’ and keep it to yourself or better still enjoy the sounds of nature.

  1. Grrrrrr…….they are my pet hate at the moment Rod Murray!
    Not only do they disturb our wildlife but also damage and destroy the environment too.
    Doof parties are always trashing our beaches and fragile dunes, public toilet/shower areas, broken bottles, fires left burning….I could go on and on.

  2. The doofs in the National Parks are a disgrace , the amount of garbage left behind shows no respect to not only others but also themselves.
    Shitting in the woods is also another sign of disrespect.
    Doof with harmony and they may get some respect.
