Nambassa Festival near Waihi Beach 1978

As a contrast to the 'Big Day Out' photo alongside this one.

 

'Splore' looks more like the modern equivalent by the sea .

From the archives , about summer 1978/9. A rural-based local farm event at Golden Valley that included tenting , alternative culture and music with many naked swimming on the east coast surf beach near Waihi ,Bay of Plenty.There were about three Nambassa's replaced by 'Sweewaters' festivals by the Waikato River the next three or so years. (Pentax SLR) .Where I first noticed the now established photographer Gill Hanly early in her career taking pictures of Maori bikers sprawled near the front stage.Skyhooks played at this one.
