The best thing about this festival is that it is on the University of Canberra campus. A really easy walk for those of us who do not drive. The tents and stages were set up on the fields behind the school. It was awesome because once you are inside, you know so many people due to the fact that most of them either go to UC or they live in res.

Although it was an all ages show, it didn't really matter much as there was a separate area for those who were drinking. Drinks were a little pricey, but as long as you picked up enough cans from the ground to return, the drink turned out to be only a couple of dollars. This was a great way to hang out with my friends, relax, and listen to some great music. Although it was pretty expensive to get a ticket, it was an amazing day with amazing people!

Groovin the Moo travels all around Australia so even if you are not going to be in Canberra, try and catch the festival at any one of the other locations.
