Despite the heat, an overwhelming sense of freedom spread through Meredith’s Supernatural Amphitheatre during the festival’s latest edition.

An announcement from police was an unusual way to start the 16th Golden Plains festival in western Victoria. But during a warning about the remarkable, the crowd was told that in case of any problem, it was best not to leave, as Meredith’s Supernatural Amphitheatre was “the best place to be”.

The classic hallmarks come to define the festival were in full view – costumes, bare skin, increasingly inventive doofsticks and an overwhelming sense of freedom spread through the “Sup” all weekend, despite the oppressive heat. But the dancefloor remained mostly dormant for the first several acts of the day, with punters contently lounging on couches under the shade of the amphitheatre’s gum trees.American indie group Wednesday almost captured the crowd’s full attention with an excellent set of country-infused alt-rock detailing the minutiae of life in North Carolina, creating one of the most gender-inclusive mosh pits in recent memory.

It’s that sort of creative titbit from random strangers that makes Golden Plains feel so unique, and so euphoric.
