The Hills are Alive is a private event. To attend you must be
invited by either the Farmer, one of the bands, or
a friend who has attended before.
-
Gates open from 11:30am Saturday morning and close 6:30pm Sunday.
-
The Hills are Alive is an all ages event (children and grandparents
are celebrated!). Anyone under 18 years of age need to be accompanied by an adult
companion. Children under 10 years of age can attend for free.
-
Due to The Hills Are Alive being on a hill, there is limited flat
ground. As a result the camp ground is located approximately 500m from
the car park. You cannot camp next to your car. Arrive early to secure
the flattest sleeping area!
-
Baggage Ferry System: Will operate from 11:30am - 5pm on Saturday and
11am - 6pm on Sunday. Just like at the airport... only it's a tractor (and
maybe a ute)!
-
Please try to car-pool with friends as this will lower the environmental
impact on the farm and make for a more fun-filled road trip.
-
Upon arrival at the site, you will be required to present your passes.
Anyone without the required pass will not be allowed access to the event.
-
No swimming in the dams.
-
No camping Sunday night.
-
Take care under trees - branches can drop.
-
Bring clothes/protection for all seasons - especially some warm ones
(hope for the best...plan for the worst!).
-
Water.
-
Food and beverages. Please do not
bring any glass as this is a working farm and the cows don't wear shoes.
Delicious food will be available from a very special selection of food
outlets. If on the off chance you have to queue think of it as a chance
to meet new friends!
-
A tent. Don't forget the tent pegs.
-
Sleeping gear... or not!
-
Folding chair to relax in.
-
A torch to guide you to your tent (no street lights in the country!).
-
Mobile phone. Coverage is not great but if you walk to the highest part
of the site you might get a signal.
-
Any medication you require. - the closest pharmacy is 20 kms away.
-
Cash to buy food, water and band merch (THAA! t-shirts, stubby holders,
and keyrings available!). The closest ATM is also 20 kms away.
-
Fun stuff - Frisbees, hacky sacs, footballs, totem tennis, drums, board
games etc.
-
No gas bottles, BBQs or cooking devices of any kind. There is a total
fire ban day and night. We all know too well the reasons why.
-
No dogs, pets or wild animals (humans included). Cows and calves are
easily scared... sorry.
-
No bad vibes or arrogant attitudes ;)
