No, that's not the familiar Big Time Out Tipi, it's the new Lotus Tipi crafted by former Cumberlander Teresa Wild. The tipi has been crafted especially for the 4 day Balarama Harvest Festival which runs from August 21-24, 2010, at the Saranagati EcoVillage in Venables Valley west of Ashcroft.

This year is the first year for special presentations, visiting performing artists, teachers, authors, community elders and many special guests.

These photos are from day 1 of the 4 day event.

Complete schedule here. Everyone welcome.
