| Goodwill festival The promised free council approved venue
finally turned up so we descended on the Country Music Park in
Warnervale. This Electric Universe event heralded a new direction
for Oms Not Bombs and Graffiti Hall events moving into the festival
arena last Anzac weekend event is the finale of the Central Coast
Youth week. Featuring bands, D.J's, workshops and camping the
festival kicked off on Saturday 24th April at midday going through
till sunset Sunday. The Goodwill festival saw the crews from Sydney
do there stuff with a large contingent from Newcastle, Timbarra and
other activist groups.
Although the turnout was smaller than expected the gathering was
important with plans for future actions occurring. Magically the
terrible weather was held at bay, rain in Sydney may have held a
lot of people back. The Central Coast one of Australia’s
highest suicide areas is in much need for interactive events like
the festival, hopefully the Goodwill festival can be a regular
event in the youth calendar up there.
