Country kids have always had to go the extra mile to see their favourite band or festival, but that could be changing. Increasingly, live music events or "bush doofs" are popping up in regional areas across the country. "I feel like it's been a bit harder to find live music gigs, or festivals, situations where you can go on a weekend and hang out with your mates," she said. Opportunity for farmers Margaret Ballantyne, owner of Ballantyne's strawberry farm near Calen, the new location of the Wintermoon Festival, said hosting live music events on the property was a big opportunity. Mr Burke said opening farms up for live music events could benefit farmers looking to diversify into agritourism.
