 2012 is all over and we are all a little sad that it is finished, but overwhelmed with the success of the weekend. And what a weekend. What a great bunch of performers. What a great bunch of fans and audience. What a great bunch of volunteers. What a great bunch of sponsors. Sensational effort for every one involved.

What a great week end was had by all.

Hope to see you all again in 2013 and yes the dates are 22 to 24 March 2013.

Sponsors are a vital part of our festival as without them there is no festival. Please check out our great sponsors at the foot of this page and support them as they help us bring you a great festival.

Carpooling

As many of the carbon emissions for our festival are associated with travel to and from our little village.  We strongly encourage visitors to explore means of sharing rides, using public transport or even travelling by bike/foot!!  To assist the car sharing we have partnered with ‘The Car Pool’  website and created an event.  To explore this possibility, please visit:  http://www.thecarpool.com.au

Volunteer information

Volunteer Application

At the same time our ticketing team are working to tidy up our big complaint from last year and that was some challenges with Paypal. This year we are using a ticketing agency, Trybooking, which uses normal credit card purchasing facilities.

Sunday Market

And not to forget our logistics team who are working on road closures, marquees, sound, power and all of those other things that we take for granted. For the first time we are having to spend money on security at the camp ground to let our festival fans get a good night sleep and will not be disturbed by a few over enthusiastic party goers.

And do not forget the sponsorship and fundraising people who allow us to keep our tickets the cheapest we can for a festival of this quality.

Littlies

Our youth have been looked after, but now we are adding a special program for our littlies.

The Street parade on Friday night is up and going, and now there will be special activities over the weekend for our tots and young at heart.
