Highline Festival, Australia

Call it an unofficial festival call it just a coincidence that so many highliners happened to turn up at the same spot but happen it did at a spot not far from Sydney. Despite the wet and windy weather a group of highliners came together to set up lines and help boost the popularity of the new sport. Highlining is the big brother of slacklining, a sport that has been rapidly growing in popularity of late. Highlining is done at such a height that an unrestrained fall would lead to serious injury in the best scenario.

It didn’t slow those who gathered though and many people who attempted their first highline were happy to get up and take a few steps. People came from Melbourne, Brisbane, Germany, Austria, and France.  The clouds also came by for the weekend making for some beautiful atmospherics. Unfortunately the clouds also brought with them rain showers.
