What you need to Bring and what you have to Leave
at home.
We are sorry to say that dogs can't come to Meredith this year,
for insurance reasons. We have always loved having dogs at Meredith,
and the dogs seem to enjoy themselves as well, but you'll have to
leave them at home this year.

Bring These Things
DIRECTIONS ON HOW TO GET THERE.
These will be on a paper you get with purchase of ticket, or read
and print out the map on the Getting
There page. The route to the new site is the same as the route
to the old site, so go exactly the same way, and our staff will
guide you to the camping grounds once you get to the farm.
YOUR TICKET
No entry without it and none for sale at the gate. So get
one now.
SOMETHING TO SLEEP IN
From past experiences, here are some suggestions:
- A tent. Don't forget the tent pegs. (If you drive, you can park
the car next to your tent.)
- Your clothes
- The car
- A sleeping bag/doona/blankets - Here at Team Meredith we use
and recommend Snowgum
products. Visit the Snowgum
website for their range of outdoor goods and store
SENSIBLE CLOTHES
It's December in Victoria so we could get hailstorms, blazing heat
or both. Check the weather forecast. Then disregard it and pack
for the extremes anyway. Bring a couple of changes of clothes. Even
if it's hot and sunny when you leave home it could be cold overnight
SUNGLASSES, HAT, SUNSCREENS, LONGSLEEVE SHIRT
etc.
Please, please bring these things. Sunburn ain't no fun for nobody.
PHOTO ID
If you are over 18 and wish to gain access to The
Pink Flamingo Bar. The Pink Flamingo is a licensed bar for over
18's only and has a strict entry policy. Fake Ids wont work there
so leave them at home.
BRING SOME MONEY FOR FOOD
...If you aren't bringing your own. We have an International Food
Court set up close to the action. There are the Hare Krishna's with
vegetarian and wholesome treats on offer, who prefer to convert
Festival-goers to their food than their religion. Also there is
the local townspeople's 24-hour sprawling epi-centre of fried, grilled
and baked delights. Their breakfasts on Sunday are recommended.
Also Famous Farak's fresh juices and smoothies, and fresh homemade
ice-creams are on sale. Plus there are Pizza by the metre stalls,
wholesome Asian delights from Swell, and a bigger variety of gourmet
food stalls this year than ever before. All the food stalls are
very reasonably priced.
Bring $25 for the 2002 commemorative MEREDITH T-SHIRT.
We suggest you BRING A MOBILE PHONE if you have access to one.
There are no landline public phones on site. There are more 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 go to the highest part of the site to
get a signal.
Taxis are at an absolute premium out there; a small number are
available but we suggest you book one if you need one.

Leave These Things at Home
GLASS BOTTLES OF ANY KIND AT ALL
Every person and car is searched for glass, if glass is found it
will be confiscated. Sorry to sound like a schoolteacher, but its
better than having your foot cut open.
There are no naked flames permitted at Meredith. It is far too
dry for BBQs. So DON'T BRING BBQS, GAS COOKERS etc. We do not restrict
any food or drink being brought in - e.g. we don't outlaw water
to make you buy ours. Bring whatever food you like, as long as it
doesn't need to be cooked using a naked flame. Ditto drinks, as
long as there's no glass.
DO NOT BRING GAS BOTTLES OR GAS COOKERS OR BBQS. THEY WILL BE
CONFISCATED AT THE GATE
DOGS
We are sorry to say that dogs can't come to Meredith this year,
for insurance reasons. We have always loved having dogs at Meredith,
and the dogs seem to enjoy themselves as well, but you'll have to
leave them at home this year.
DICKHEADS
We don't want them either.
