THE NO DICKHEAD POLICY
Is really about us showing each other common courtesies. Since the first
Golden Plains it’s been clear we all appreciate a lack of dickhead behaviour.
SO,
PLEASE:
NEVER – any aggressive behaviour, harassment, intoxicated drivers, driving faster than
walking pace, swimming in dams or elsewhere, glass or lawbreaking.
IN THE AMPHITHEATRE – no stage diving, crowd surfing, shoulder rides, moshing or blocking
views with raised couches, things on sticks or big cameras.
IN THE CAMPGROUNDS – no reserving campsites, super-messy campsites, loud or
offensive tunes or leaving furniture and crap behind for landfill.
If you think you’ve spotted someone being a dickhead, politely let them or one of their friends know. Sometimes
it’s good people making mistakes. If one of your friends is being a dickhead, get them to pull their head in.
Thanking you for upholding this tradition, for the betterment of all Goldenkind.
