Hey beautiful people 👋✨

We’re excited to invite you to a New Year’s Eve camping gathering at The Vortex — a wholesome, nature-filled way to welcome 2026 together. Stay just for NYE or make it a 3-night mini escape surrounded by good people and good energy.

Duncan will be sharing an uplifting NYE dance session from around 7pm, perfect for all ages — a joyful, sober, family-friendly way to move, connect, and celebrate as the evening unfolds.

Huge gratitude to Vincent’s Eco Estate for offering us a special camping rate — kids stay free — and the site has everything you need: showers, toilets, a kitchen, cooker…the works.

Everyone’s welcome — families, friends, travellers, neighbours. You bring the good vibes; we’ll bring the fire, the music, and the community spirit.

All the details are in the private FB event:

In the 1950s, every kindergartener knew the ritual: crayons down, lights low, and the soft hum of a record spinning through the air.
Naptime wasn’t a break — it was part of learning.

Teachers dimmed the lights, tiptoed between mats, and whispered, “Close your eyes.”
Kids rested, dreamed, or just stared at sunbeams dancing on the ceiling — learning something we’ve since forgotten: that rest is part of growth.

Then came the tests.
The “readiness.”
The race to get ahead.
By the 1980s, naps were gone. The mats rolled up. The lights stayed on.

Today, five-year-olds spend more time in structured lessons than third-graders did in the 1950s — no pauses, no quiet, no chance to just be.
And we wonder why they’re anxious.

Maybe it’s time we remembered what our teachers once knew:
You don’t grow by running all the time.
You grow in the stillness too.
Even big kids need naptime sometimes.
