Anyone in australia and new zeland!

i will be spending a year travelling through australia and new zeland starting next august with the purpose of involving myself in as much fire as possible. anyone i can contact to learn more about the fire culture in australia and new zeland would be extrordinarily helpful. ie, groups, individuals, anyone. my email is tywalker@vassar.edu. i look forward to hearing from you.

moon fest... moon fest... moon fest...

Love to meet you there if you visit Brisbane - email me for all the info if you intend to visit... it happens once a month except for a brief hibernation over winter...

come play fire with us!

Hi, in melb you might want to try going to St Kilda (around the esplanade area).
there are also gatherings on friday nights in Fitzroy and Eltham. For a cool market that often attracts twirlers try St Andrews.
And if u want a firey NYE or Easter try Confest.
Where bouts in aus are u thinking of going, will u be in melb and when?
happy twirling

Hi!

Email me when you get to Oz, I'll give you a place to stay, and try to arrange for fire meets whatever part of Australia I'm living in - I always try to keep a finger on the local and interstate fire community vibe...also the Psy Trance vibe too - if you are so inclined...

Although its doubtful, if you are headed to the West Coast (Perth that is), let me know, my email is candybabi@hotmail.com

I'm hearing good things every few days about St Kilda and its twirlers... would love to check it out, hmm... perhaps you can pack me in your suitcase if you have a stopover in Brisbane?

Sorry, off topic here,

Hey Josh, do u know any good psy trance sites that are worth visiting?

Hey Theo,

Just replying to your off-topic posting with another one.....

Try -
www.futuretrance.com &
www.goatrance.com

Lots of great links...especially at futuretrance.

To bring it back on topic - 'onebigdoor'...you'll love it down here in the Antipodes - hope your travelling goes well.

I'm in Dunedin, if you get that far south. And I know some happy fire people in Wellington that I can put you in touch with. Email me closer to the time

xaeda.

ooh, I didn't realise you said a *year*! There's a juggling festival in late February in a little town called Paekakariki, half an hour North of Wellington. It's called a juggling festival, but really it's for anything....firespinning, stiltwalking, unicycling, acrobalance, clowning.....all sorts of things. It runs over 3 or 4 days at a campsite near the beach (you stay onsite), there'll be a blacklight tent, cheap vege meals, a 'renegade' show (um, show and tell for jugglers. anything goes and it gets awfully silly!), workshops in all sorts of things, lots of chances to learn new stuff, and also plenty of time to just mellow out at the beach. I've been the last 4 years (it moves around each year but next year it's staying in Paekakariki cause it's so lovely). If you're interested in incorporating other skills into your firedancing, this is a great place to go.....jugglers are really friendly people and you can just interrupt and go "hey, teach me that!). Possibly the only bad thing is that there *might* be a fire ban, depending how dry things get, but even if there is, you can still learn lots of new skills and mellow out with happy people. Check out bigfoot.com/~nzja if you're interested.

(and yes, I'm biased, I'll probably be helping organise it.....but hey)

(oh, and I'll probably get roped into teaching a staff workshop again....yippeee)

uh.. dude.. last post prior to yours was over 7 years ago.. chances are they're probably not still visiting..

I am so tempted to answer "No" to the title. Because, on average, there can not be that many. And those that are, are South African.

Yes, but the Saffas just marry the locals and pop out Aus/NZ babies

You mean there *are* locals?

Yes.

I just thought that country was filled with Saffrican "refugees".

Something new every day....

yeah bro,

i hear townsville is nice this time of year. HEHE stay away wet and flooding atm
