I went to HIllside festival with Joe C. and my Auntie Gaylie in both 2007 and 2008. My favourite part was the drumming. The best part in 2007 was the bonfire and drum circle in Volunteer Village. The drummers were really good and the fire was big.

My favourite part this year was Abrams Drum Shop . They had lots of drums and other instruments. When I went there, I liked playing on the drums. My favourite drum had a fur rim around it. I liked the sound of that one best.

I also liked the camping and swimming. The swimming was better last year because the water was lower and there was more beach.

This year's bonfire and drum circle wasn't as much fun as last year. The drumming wasn't as good and the fire was smaller ... someone almost jumped right over it.
