Just a short drive 120 kilometers west of Byron Bay lies the sleepy town of Bonalbo, nestled in the spectacular crystaline catchments of the inland rainforests.

Regularly this area becomes home to Silicon Buddah (and the global tekno family) and annually welcomes of one of Australia's most renowned electronic music and dance festivals, The Dawning, now in its third year.

This year The Dawning starts the summer season with the first teknoval of the millennium. Join psychedelic dancers, and endless-summer party krew from around the globe as they groove their way through Australia's premiere 80 hour trance-a-delic, multi-chakra, kaleidescopic, 3 dawn, total heartspace, beautiful, dance odyssey.

Imagine... being powered by a plethora of Australia's most wicked DJs and producers, playing around with a tribe of intergalactic visiting aural maestros... being illuminated by a photon belt of Earth's top laser, psychedelic lighting and decoration wizards, being... acoustically tuned by 60KW of digital sound, just being... on 2 beautiful dancezones, enthralled... by a posse of dancers, lushing... and lounging in beautiful chai spaces, amongst an array of original north coast market stalls, and dancing... beside the bovines as they meander through the golden topped hills of Bonalbo district.

Join... a pan-continental array of Austr-alien DJ legends like
