Merrydeath

The nickname 'Merrydeath', which refers to the Meredith Music Festival, is an apt one. The festival takes place over a weekend in December each year on a farm in country Victoria. It includes three days of camping and music for most of that time, day and night, except for a couple short hours of 'silence wedge' around dawn each morning. Having gone into the festival already run down thanks to a bout of tonsillitis I was glad I had the foresight to take today off work.

Some of these photos were taken in Echuca on Friday morning and the rest were taken at the festival on the weekend. These photos are just for starters as I'm waiting to get my other camera back from a friend.

On a musical note, El Guincho was the highlight for me. His tunes are so upbeat! I missed Neil Finn's entire set due to looking after my sick sister but apparently, and not surprisingly, he was incredible. I overheard a couple of girls in the toilet queue saying he was so good they cried.
