Burning Man Australia
OzBurn Seed 2010
(June long weekend 2010)
At the first Seed Gathering, held on the June long weekend in 2009, it was unanimously agreed there will be the first 'Australian Regional Burn' the following year, near the same weekend in June 2010.
At the Seed gathering, planning began for the first burn, which will be held on the same land, near Bellingen, Northern New South Wales, on the June long weekend.
This first gathering will be capped at 500 participants to ensure the growing phenomena embraces and understands the 10 principles upon which Burning Man is guided.
Early Ticket Release is now closed, remaining tickets are to be distributed as part of theme camps/ performer and artist proposal. See - Arts Co-ordinator or Theme Camp Co-ordinator in the 'OzBurn Seed 2010' menu section for submissions there.
As a social experiment embracing the principles of - Radical Inclusion, Gifting, Decommodification, Radical Self Reliance, Radical Self Expression, Communal Effort, Civic Responsibility, Leaving No Trace, Participation and Immediacy - it is our decided aim to conduct our gatherings along these lines.
A ticket entry will be required to attend.
Everyone is a participant and will be required to have acquired a ticket.
The finances for this activity will not go into a people's pockets or a black hole. Money will be banked appropriately and accounted for, in full, to all participants of the Australian Burning Man community.
After expenses, what we make financially will always go back into the activity as it evolves.
People wishing to participate in the first regional burn may come onto the site from Midday on Thursday 10/06/2010 and must leave by Midday on Tuesday 15/06/2010.
A man will be burned on the Sunday Night around 9-10pm.
The aim is to gather momentum to stage a full scale 'Australian Region' - Burning Man Event - in the Australian desert, or suitable outback region, in the not too distant future.
