…and now for the final words from Da Festival Ladiez.
Morning Breaks
Gemdilem: I was woken up at 11am by someone in a tent nearby yells very loudly “it’s stopped raining”. There was a loud cheer and car horns beeped (many people slept in their cars because their tents did not survive the crazy weather on Saturday).
Poleski: After having our Dorito and chocolate breakfast we packed all our muddy gear and said goodbye to Meredith. As we walked by the muddy hill we saw many people still going from the night before. Lots of face planting was witnessed. Katatonic was grateful she didn’t stack it once – gotta love a mind blank.
Gemdilem: It had stopped raining. Just in time for us to pack up our tents. It was time to head back to civilisation. It was time to say goodbye to ponchos and gumboots, compost toilets and mud.
Gemdilem: Time for one last trip to the compost toilets before we leave.
Mrs Pop: I have sawdust in my undies.
Conclusion
Gemdilem: It was a music festival I will never forget. It was epic. The rain the mud not once did it stop me from having a good time though. I had a great festival and can’t wait to go again next year. One thing is for sure though I will never complain about the weather ever again unless I am standing outside when a tornado hits. Nothing will ever quite compare to Meredith 08. It will become one of those stories that gets past on at future festivals I survived Meredith 08. The year that it rained 80mm over the weekend, the year that it turned into one big mud bath.
Poleski: I have no words except: simply epic. My current fragile state is beyond worth it. I heart you Aunty Meredith! Here’s to Meredith 2009. I think I might just limit my festival outings to the fields of Meredith and laneways. PS: On the way home we did see llamas and a guy on acid. Score!
