Tropical Fruits Day 4 & 5 (final night) in Adventures in paradise

I finally found a free PowerPoint at the campsite for my final night here.
I’m going to start packing up some of the small stuff and moving it to the car tonight. The tent can wait until sunrise, obviously because I need to sleep in it

The main party was pretty cool. I was fascinated by the fireworks. Just as well because they call this a “non-profit” event, but when 3-party passes are over $200 and camping can also be that much (depending on when you arrive), I find it hard to believe. And there’d be a friend thousand people here I’d say. I assume the majority of the moolah goes into the fireworks.

I hooked up with a guy. And get this. He used to work at my work. As in the exact same place. I’d never seen him before! So we had a bit of a laugh about that. Me travelling to different states and hooking up with fellow Queenslander’s seems to be quite a regular thing 😅

I enjoyed the party and the pool party today. It was a gorgeous mostly overcast day, which cooled things down a lot compared to last year where we could barely walk on the concrete without burning off the skin on our feet.
And Andrew was with me this year.

It’s been so nice to have someone to talk to. I said to Andrew that Tropical Fruits seems to be an event that you would go to with a group of your single, slutty friends. Or, like my friend Matt, with a couple in an open relationship.
I mean, for an ideal time of fun, that’s the group you’d come here with. I guess monogamous couples could also, but they’d just have to ignore all the sex that goes on here lol.
Its actually really liberating. Once a year, this town in country NSW turns into what Amsterdam is all year round.
The smell of weed is obvious here sometimes. The police go through the site but they don’t even care. As Andrew explained, they are more concerned about violence etc. But there’s none of that. Everyone is too chill.

Except me. I snapped at the security guard at the entry/exit of the recovery party (which was pretty shit tbh) tonight when she wouldn’t let me take a bottle of water through.
I was like, “That’s so stupid!!”
I then decided I was too exhausted after the pool party today. I’d spent ages inflating my big beach ball and it took ages. I have no idea how I did my mattress lol.
Thankfully, it was a bit of a hit and gave swimmers something to punch around all day.
There was one other there when I arrived but it was already deflated.

No hookups today, but the guy last night was pretty hot. I actually thought both him and his friend we’re hot, bit trying to get both of them was probably bad bit of a stretch. Luckily one of them was, and I took him back to my tent, but fucking on a blow-up air mattress is horrible and doesn’t work lol. We ended up going back into the party and finishing off in there.
He went to the bar to get a pen and paper and wrote down his number for me, which was nice. We both live close in the same city, so why not?

I just have to try and get this car home tomorrow. The energy gods aren’t good when I worry about something.
I’m charging my phone right now in the event that I do get stuck in the side of the highway attempting to get home tomorrow.
Vishs instructions are to go to the bathroom before I leave. I can’t stop anywhere and I can’t risk it. This new battery needs to get me home as the alternator is just chewing it.
So yeah. Great. Never again. I’ll just pay the ridiculous $600+ hire cost next time.

Wish me luck ☺️

I actually can’t wait for a hot bath and to wash my hair. This is my 5th and final night here, so yay!
