EAT The International Food Court will be operating 24 hours a day at Meredith this year. All food stalls are located in the one general area, just north of the amphitheatre. There are all kinds of inexpensive healthy and unhealthy food, ranging from pizza to Asian delights to Hare Krisna vegetarian delights to baked potatoes to hot chips to bacon and egg breakfast rolls to Mongolian Barbecue. You are most welcome to bring your own food and drink; however you cannot bring glass of any kind, including wine and sauce bottles - and cannot use gas cookers or BBQs to cook your own food, due to fire risk. There will be plenty of food stalls all day and night, queues will be short, the food fresh and cheap, and the surrounds rather beautiful. The fabulous Pink Flamingo Bar will glow pink allnite and serve cocktails within certain hours to certain people over 18 with certain photo ID and certain manners and clean and tidy presentation. We advocate the responsible consumption of alcohol at all times at Meredith. If you are under 18, you wont be able to drink alcohol, or enter any licensed areas. Simple as that. The Pink Flamingo Bar is Meredith's cocktail bar. It sells two cocktails - the Pink Flamingo (vodka, pink grapefruit, some other stuff) and the Bloody Meredith (popular on Sunday - vodka, tomato juice, celery, two eggs, roast chicken and lemon meringue pie). The Pink Flamingo is for over 18's only. You will need to have photo ID which will get you a wristband which will get you in. The Pink Flamingo Bar has been taken over yet again, although it is technically not under new management as the original owners have come back to return it to the heady heights of its glorious past. There will be no silly themes, costumes or decor. Plans for a theatre restaurant with a horror movie theme called "AAAAHHH!! What The Fuck Was That Noise???" have been shelved. It will simply glow pink all night and serve excellent drinks. The Pink Flamingo's location on this year's site is at the back of the amphitheatre, just next to the International Food Court, on the fringe of the Top Paddock.
Here's the history of The Pink Flamingo: 1998 first opened as The Pink Flamingo Yacht Club Bar, with hosts Commodore Bahamas Lite and Commodore Pink Jazz (see photo at side of page) 1999 The Pink Flamingo Ski Lodge, with hosts Heidi and Klaus 2000 The Pink Flamingo RSL, with bingo and bowls. Run by committee. 2001 The Pink Flamingo Speakeasy and Cinema. Some of the films really messed with some of the patrons minds. 2002 The Pink Flamingo Bar. Shady, quiet and comfortable. And pink.
One of the new attractions this year will be a 60 foot high Ferris wheel, called The Meredith Eye. It will be positioned right up over the back of the amphitheatre on the highest land of the site, called the Top Paddock. The views will be quite, quite spectacular; from the top carriage you will be able to see back in time, and find your wallet that you lost in Year 9. Rides will be about 10 minutes long and we think we will have to charge you about $2 a ride. We were hoping to do it for free but we couldn't find a sponsor. Still good value. Last year's Sportsfield was a non-event for two reasons. Firstly, the spot we had picked out to set up the Sportsfield ended up being used as camping grounds because the usual roads got bogged so we had to move things around a bit. Secondly, ten minutes after we got about 20 sets of Totem Tennis going, one small black dog called Limousine bit all the balls off the strings. But we are going to give it another go this year, so you will find the Sportsfield over the back of the amphitheatre, on the high ground of the top Paddock. Totem tennis will be free. Commemorative Twelfth Annual Meredith Music Festival T-shirts, designed, made and printed specifically for this year's Meredith Music Festival. The design is a joint effort by Noota, Beech and Aunty Meredith. This year it comes in two styles:
Sizes are Small, Medium, Large, and Extra Large. They rarely shrink unless you cook the crap out of them in the dryer. They all cost $25 including GST and are sold at the Gift Shoppe at the festival.
