As theories fly about the supposed saturation of the festival market in Australia, a new one, to be held in the picturesque Murray River Basin at Echuca-Moama, early 2012, launched and opened their box office this morning.
Melbourne foodies and wine-buffs will be in their element with the loads of award-winning wineries and restaurants in the area; the paddlesteamers that the region is renowned for will be loaded up with Ray-Ban-wearing music fans for days surrounding the 17th – 19th February 2011 festival weekend.
Tickets for the full three days are $75, with day passes at $40 or $25 for the Friday night (children and family tickets are also available).
