What to Bring?

Bring These Things

* DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO GET THERE.

* YOUR TICKET (wristband). Double-check you have it now. Put it on as you leave to go to the festival.

* SOMETHING TO SLEEP IN eg a tent. Don't forget the tent pegs. If you drive, you can park the car next to your tent. Caravans and motorhomes are welcome.

* A SLEEPING BAG/doona/extra blankets.

* BRING REALLY WARM CLOTHES. We can't stress this enough - BRING REALLY WARM CLOTHES AND WATERPROOF CLOTHES EVEN IF IT'S HOT AND SUNNY WHEN YOU LEAVE HOME. It can get very cold at night.

* SUNGLASSES, HAT, SUNSCREENS, LONGSLEEVE SHIRT etc.

* PHOTO ID - If you are over 18 and wish to gain access, BRING PHOTO ID. EVEN IF YOU ARE 55 YOU WILL STILL NEED PHOTO ID.

* A GOOD STASH OF CASH. There is a cash-out facility on site, at The Gift Shoppe, which is open until 10pm each night. But best to bring with you.

* MOBILE PHONE AND SPARE CHARGED BATTERY if you have one. There are no landline public phones on site. There are public phones in the town of Meredith, 10 minutes drive from the site, but if you have a mobile, bring it. Coverage on the farm is improving all the time; you may have to go to the highest part of the site to get a signal.

* ANY MEDICATION YOU NEED - there is no pharmacy on site.

* DRINKING WATER FOR THE CAMPSITE - there is free drinking water available onsite but we highly recommend getting a bulk water container from the supermarket - a 10 litre container would be ideal. Apart from just drinking it, it will be very handy for washing, cleaning, brushing your teeth and keeping your tongue wet for licking stamps if you decide to do all your wedding invitations whilst at the festival. There are of course plenty of hot and cold showers and sinks and water outlets available on site, but nothing beats the convenience of having water at your camp.

* A VEHICLE OR ORGANISE YOURSELF A LIFT HOME. Taxis are at an absolute premium out there; a small number are available but book well in advance (like weeks) and make clear plans with the driver.

* TENT MARKER - they really do all look the same. A flag for the car aerial…etc…

* Good sensible SHOES for your feet.

* If the weather looks like being wet bring gumboots.

* A reminder to smokers - new legislation that took effect January 1 means tobacco products cannot be sold at the festival (along with many outdoor events). So smokers you’ll need to bring sufficient stock to get through three days. Not that we condone smoking, just giving fair warning that there will be none for sale at the festival. Smokers will as usual need to be super careful about their butts – every one is a potential fire risk – so grind them right out or drench in the dregs on a can etc.
