You go to Falls Festival at Marion Bay!
When Tim Clark, 21 of Melbourne and his long term girlfriend recently parted ways, he decided he needed to get away to Tasmania.
"I needed to get away from Melbourne to get over it," Tim said.
After failing to get a flight to visit his cousin in Devonport, he found himself on the way to Hobart alone.
His cousin later met him in Hobart with a spare Falls Festival ticket- the perfect break-up antidote.
"I'm absolutely loving it."
Having not known anyone, Clark decided to construct an outfit that would make him friends more easily-a gaffer tape mankini.
"I didn't know anyone and thought it was the best way to get to know someone.
It was suppose to be a three- piece suit but I ran out of gaffer tape."
The outfit included a strap of tape around his arm filled with bananas.
"My mates thought it would be a good idea in case I get lost for days."
And, it also had straps for his cigarettes and lighter.
Clark certainly drew a lot of attention at the Festival with patrons gasping at what was left of his suit and stopping to take photos.
