What happens when Australia's biggest music and arts festival becomes home to a community of dreamers, builders, and storytellers?


Join comedian Harley Breen as he uncovers the wild stories behind the biggest festival you just might never have heard of. Broadcasting live from Woodfordia: A 500-acre regenerated dairy farm on Jinibara Country that's hosted the Festival for the past 30 years.


Expect cracking yarns from the visionaries who built this cultural phenomenon from humble Maleny beginnings, plus the artists whose careers launched from this hidden Queensland valley, just an hour from Brisbane and the Sunshine Coast.


There are familiar faces and unsung heroes who come together to produce something many have experienced as a rite of passage. Like everything at Woodfordia, from the 136,000 trees planted, to our chai tent (one of the first places to serve chai in Australia), this podcast is unfolding, growing, expanding the Woodfordia Universe to invite more of us in.


Many arrive at all ages of life and say 'I've finally found my people'.

This is an invitation into the lives of our people who might just become yours too.

  • Peace Trains, Permaculture and All Night Chai with Robin Clayfield

    Peace Trains, Permaculture and All Night Chai with Robin Clayfield
    2025/10/02
    "We had no business plan, no rules... Because there'd never been one (A Chai Tent - Anywhere in Australia). So we could do what we wanted..."Grab a warm chai and listen to the history of Chai in Australia as Harley sits down with Robin Clayfield, part of the force behind the iconic Chai Tent. From humble beginnings with a truck tarp and bamboo structure to becoming the 24hour beating heart of Woodford's late-night culture, Robin shares the wild journey of creating a 24/7 haven that ran for 23 years straight. They discuss the infamous Peace Train, a stampede that changed everything, permaculture design principles applied to festival spaces, and why the Chai Tent became so much more than just a place to grab a drink; it was a sacred container for jamming, connection, and those 2am moments when you just needed to chill the funk out.Robin also shares the joys of another Woodford treasure, The Labyrinth, the financial stress of running what accidentally became a small business, and the beautiful news that the Chai Tent is making its comeback this year (though she's not telling you where it'll be, so don't get too excited - come and see for yourself).Dive in to hear about:The first chai stampede becoming a defining festival moment.Running a 24/7 operation for eight days straight requires more than just caffeine and good vibes.Permaculture principles shaping everything from cooling systems to seating arrangements.The bartering system where locals could trade tickets and chai for skills and services.Why the "dog shift" (2-6am on New Year's Eve) was both brutal and magical.Community spaces without alcohol can create their own powerful energy.Sometimes you need to let something rest for 13 years before bringing it back.The Chai Tent was never planned—it just evolved, year after year, with no rulebook.Keen to be a part of the next evolution of Chai at Woodford, join us at the Woodford Folk Festival as a patron or volunteer: www.woodfordfolkfestival.comBecome a Woodfordia Citizen:Perks -Bi-Monthly emails sharing the ins and outs of the world of Woodfordia and the people who keep the heart beatingSpecial invites to special events on site at Woodfordia.
