The second half of the Tour Down Under is like late nights at a music festival; it’s where the magic happens. The crowd is crushing, everything gets sweaty, and you wouldn’t wish to be any other place in the world.

IT'S WRITTEN ON YOUR FACE.

Seeing someone completely let themselves go is a beautiful thing. Those initial reservations, fears and stresses slowly dissolve into confidence, serenity and pure pleasure. Watch as someone smiles, unprompted by conversation or human interaction, hoping that they will never let go of the feeling they have right now. Their head extends forward, their eyes and mouth open a little more. They are chasing. We all are.

THE PLACES WE SEE.

Those rolling hills with the almost abandoned tree standing tall by itself, in defiance. That winding road that almost caresses the old brick house as it slides on by. These are memories created by everything just fitting to the eye – your eye. It’s not the name we remember, it’s the emotion we feel.

IT'S BETTER TOGETHER.

Checkout the old dude laughing – hysterically. The girls just blabbering away and the guys talking complete and utter rubbish. Much like watching individual faces, it’s a beautiful thing watching a group of humans embrace each other with everyone in complete synchronicity going “fuck it, let’s have fun”. They did. We did.

It’s time to turn out the lights. Until next year.
