Cycle Cove
The main objective of Cycle Cove is to provide communal bicycles that can be used at anytime by anyone. They can be collected from CC Depot and returned if possible or left out in obvious places for others to take and use.
We estimate we will have 15-20 bikes but that will vary depending on transport to site and acquisition of the bikes before the event.
All bikes will be recycled and repurposed for the event. The bikes will be decorated and painted by members of the team to be unique and distinguishable as CC bikes. They will be modified to be suitable for the terrain e.g. good wheels and tyres, single gear (low maintenance, low speed), plus lights that will automatically switch on at night, powered by rechargeable batteries, solar panels on the bikes maybe included, tbc.
There will be a workshop in the cap to repair any CC bikes plus offer servicing and repairs to any other bikes that are onsite.
If there are no bikes at the CC depot, at designated times we will locate with GPS and collect the ones that are not being used and return them to the depot.
We see this starting as a small operation in terms of bike numbers but we plan to grow the fleet through the years. This may be achieved by asking for bike donations from burners at the event. If the community would like to bring old unused bikes then they can be taken away, re-purposed and added to the fleet for future events.
In addition to the community bike scheme there will be daily yoga sessions held by a qualified teacher that will be advertised and open to everyone. Tarot Card reading via a sign up sheet and we are also planning on making and providing kombucha.

The Hilbert Space
Step into the enigmatic world of 'Hilbert Space,' an immersive art installation that challenges your perceptions of geometry, topology, and the fabric of the universe.
At the heart of this thought-provoking exhibit stands a regular tetrahedron, its five-meter edges forming a perfect, symmetrical structure. Within this geometric marvel floats a three-meter weather balloon, an ethereal sphere at the intersection of mathematical precision and natural wonder.
Surrounding this central motif, a series of projectors cast intricate patterns and luminous projections onto the balloon's surface, creating a dynamic interplay of light and shadow that shifts with your perspective. The projections explore the profound concept that in a block universe, the three dimensions of space and the one dimension of time are fluid and interchangeable.
As you navigate this spatial tableau, you will be invited to contemplate the equivalence of spatial and temporal dimensions—x and t, yz and xt—as planes intersecting through the continuum of reality. 'Hilbert Space' serves as a gateway to understanding how these dimensions blend and morph, opening a portal to the deeper truths of our existence.
Engage with 'Hilbert Space' and embark on a journey that transcends conventional boundaries, inviting you to explore the seamless fusion of time and space and the interconnectedness of all dimensions

Zef
Welcome to Zef Camp, the OG Garbage Art Camp – although you may have heard several names throughout the years like a true star with an identity crisis.
This year we are going back to our roots, hopefully finding ourselves but results not guaranteed. A bunch of silly geese, honky clowns, and sexy, creative weirdos reign supreme here.
We’ve been crafting trashy masterpieces out of zip ties, duct tape and sheer desperation since before it was cool enough to become Kiwiburn 2025’s official theme. So, thanks for the flattery! We know imitation is the sincerest form of it, and we promise to bring even MORE beautiful pieces of trash this year
Oh and did we mention we’re also very, very ridiculously good-looking, sex-positive, body-positive, and utterly outrageous!?
Events: Adults Only Storytime • Cauldron Cupids • Soapbox soaping • The bizarre zefzaar • Pretentious Philosophy Hour • Pheromones and Feral Moans
