Australia’s Lost Paradise Festival was the beautiful music and camping festival you could end the year with, and judging by the pictures, it was every bit stunning.Β 

The Shambhala of New Year as we like to call, the festival of Lost Paradise is a culmination of all the things The Sherp has grown to love at a music festival – stunning locales, owing to its lush South Wales location, an eclectic lineup of music, cozy camping options that look straight up earthy, and vibes aplenty. The fact that it allows its attendees a three-day music and costume filled getaway, musically raw and organic in nature away from the mostly urban New Year celebrations that we’re mostly inundated with, is one definitely worth noting.

Have a go at the pictures so you can plan your next New Year celebrations well in advance!

A three-day escape into the woods, with the creek for company, accompanied by hiveminds, Lost Paradise is the New Year festival for the ultimate vagabond.Β

With camping, music and yoga in tow, Lost Paradise is very much the most ideal New Year experience, if not the most ideal festival experience.Β

And because it’s a festival of staggeringly indie spirit, the people that flock to it are not just creative expressionists, but also liberal bearers!
