A gem among the many incredible natural wonders of the Northern Rivers

The Member for Lismore Janelle Saffin called a local tourist spot is 'a gem among the many incredible natural wonders of the Northern Rivers' as she announced two reserves in the Lismore region will be upgraded.

Splendour was glorious. Beautiful daytime temperatures if a bit fffchilly at night. Lots of glitter, hair sculptures, sonic treats, yummy eats and not a lot of pants. Haim, Blood Royal, Queens of the Stone Age and Sigur Ros were amongst the headliners of the 3 1/2 day festival. Check out the selection of pictures from our photographer Jeff (party animal) Dawson.

Like all businesses we are struggling to keep food on the table of all our local and hard working journalists, artists, sales, delivery and drudges who keep the news coming out to you both in the newspaper and online. If you can spare a few dollars a week – or maybe more – we would appreciate all the support you are able to give to keep the voice of independent, local journalism alive.

  1. Gee I am glad people had a great time. Would have loved to see Haim, George Ezra, Tora and others. I could hear it at my place 20 km away near Potty. just Wondering where all the glitter goes when the wearers wash it off. Hopefully it doesn’t end up in the ocean or does it? And hopefully discarded tents go to the homeless.

  2. Mother nature sure turned on great weather for Splendor! Queens of the stone age rocked, apparently. Hopefully i’ll make it next year…
