thanks for the info! I am forwarding it to a couple of friends. Will definitely try and make it. Have been wanting to attend a confest for years.
so is that being held in place of the deniliquin one? or is that going ahead too? have never been to a confest, but can't wait to get a car (or a friend with one) so i can go!
No, it is held in addition to the main festivals held at Deniliquin , New Year & Easter.Sydney Confest is attended by a few hundred people unlike the main one that is attended by a few thousand people. DTE (Down To Earth) is a non-profit organization that has no paid staff.All work is done by volunteers.The ticket price of $45 includes 2 hours of your time.This is not necessarily hard yakka.The first time I was cutting up 44 gallon oil drums with an angle grinder.Another year I was laying and burying black poly pipes, another time I was working in the front gate.If you see some thing that needs doing, do it. If you have any pets please leave them at home and get someone to feed them while you are away.If you do not want to pay please do not come.The ticket price pays for the overheads.
