'Splendour in the Grass' is a yearly Australian music celebration. In 2001, 'Splendour in the Grass' begun as an one day occasion held at Belongil Fields in Byron Bay, NSW and soon advanced into a three day occasion. It is currently thought to be one the country's biggest winter celebrations and draws in countless that go from everywhere throughout the nation. 'Splendour in the Grass' moved to Woodford, QLD after the NSW court denied coordinators consent to utilize a bigger site at Byron Bay, NSW.

Alongside the move to the new grounds, coordinators presented a third night of music at the occasion.

Winton also addresses the impact of regionalism and cultural up bringing. Biggie has been raised in a dysfunctional family household, and is not educated beyond the realms of traditional manual labour in “the meatworks or the cannery”. Through first person narrative and vivid sensual imagery, Winton expresses the influence of Australian ‘regionalised’ culture, and the negative impacts it has on youth, limiting their opportunities in life.

Dear selection panel I am here today because you asked for recommendations on what Australian films should be shown in the Australian film festival held in late 2016. There are obviously the well-known Australian movies films such as ‘Crocodile Dundee’ the 1986 Paul Hogan film or ‘Australia’ the Hugh Jackman film from 2002, two classic and famous Australian films and are all very similar because of their landscapes and characters. Ladies and Gentlemen of the selection panel, I’m sure you’ve all seen at least one or 2 of these iconic Australian films, if not all.

Through the insight given in his landscape memoirs, Lands Edge and Island Home, a more considered reading of his fictional texts; Breath, A Blow, A Kiss and Sand can be found. Specifically, these texts explore the role that landscape and place have had in shaping his perspectives and distaste of the expectations of Australian males. These texts each explore certain aspects of the expectations that men all over Australia are subjected to that Winton strongly opposes. Winton grew up in the 1960’s middle-class suburb of Karrinyup, WA, his working class Christian family’s beliefs and values, and events in his early life have evolved to form many of his present-day values towards landscape and masculinity.
