A LITTLE SUGAR
Laura recently attended the 2016 Sugar Mountain Festival, an annual single-day festival in Melbourne showcasing the best in contemporary music, visual art and new media, focusing on the natural meeting points between different mediums. Above all, Sugar Mountain is a place for creativity to be absorbed and celebrated.

A QUICK ESCAPE
After a full day at Sugar Mountain, Laura needed to make a quick escape to recover with some of her uni mates down at Phillip Island. (Unconfirmed reports mentioned witness protection, but we can neither confirm nor deny!).
