| The festival is based at the Parnkalla Lions Hostel, North Shields, which is just off the Lincoln Highway, 11km. from Port Lincoln (on the way to the airport & towards the village of Poonindie) Most of the planned activities, will take place, over the weekend, in & around the large, fully enclosed �activity hall� We have booked the whole complex from Friday midday �till 12 noon on the Monday, & breakfasts each day & lunches plus evening meals on Saturday & Sunday, will be available on-site at a very reasonable cost. All meals will be served in the �activity area� and there will be an �Information Booth� operating there, most of the weekend for tickets, merchandise & information.. Due to the recent bushfire damage � Accommodation at the hostel, this year, will be restricted to camping or �vanning� with only COLD showers available. Unfortunately the re-connection of hot water to the toilet block will not be completed by May. However �bowls� of HOT water WILL be available from the kitchen for those hardy souls still willing to camp! In view of this restriction � we will waive the normal camping fee, for this year for festival ticket holders. (We are assured that plans are well in hand for a new dormitory block, upgraded toilet & shower block & upgraded kitchen � but these things all take time ! So please bear with us for the time being.) As for the rest of the festival, accompanied school-age children will not be charged for camping or admission, so long as they are under parental control Campervans, swags & tents may be accommodated in the grounds of the hostel � with access to all facilities � but please erect tents on the section, nearest to the Caretaker�s cottage � i.e. away from the main shed.(See map on program brochure) [ And Please Note : NO PETS are allowed at the Lions Hostel � if you want to bring a pet � try the Caravan Park, Thanks ] We will be fairly �self-contained� for the 4 days of the festival, but there are a range of facilities within a few minutes walk of the hostel, including The Wheatsheaf Hotel (evening meal & concert Friday); a Caravan Park (the Port Lincoln Caravan Park) with Roadhouse: fuel, public telephone, post box, food & general store, plus swimming, boating & fishing available from the foreshore & jetty close by.
