This weekend, the biggest ticket out of town is Byron Bay’s Splendour In The Grass music festival (and there are a bunch of sideshows in East Coast capitals for those missing out); or head up to sunny Townsville as the Australian Festival of Chamber Music conveys classical music to various tropical settings. Fine fungus-loving foodies will have a field day at Mundaring Truffle Festival just outside Perth; Victoria’s winter sports fiends fight it out at the Battle at Baw Baw; Hilltop Hoods hit their home town of Adelaide; jazz man James Morrison plays in Tassie; in Canberra music lovers get a taste of traditional Persian sounds at ANU; and Jamaican Sound is our gig pick for Darwin.
