Strawberry Fields

November 29, 2019
467 Tuppal Rd, Tocumwal NSW 2714, Australia

Everyone knows the Beatles song, “Strawberry Fields Forever,” and its famous catchphrase “nothing is real.” That’s what driving into this festival’s new site, Murray, feels like. Perched on the banks of a river, world-class funk and soul acts play from treehouses, jazz quintets perform live around the clock, and disco legends improvise on vinyls. It’s the perfect place for free spirits to wander aimlessly and enjoy the hot Australian summer—and let’s not forget the groovy music. —E.C.
