WHY AUSTRALIS?
This is the beginning of something we want to grow.
The idea is simple: give local artists, musicians and creatives a place to come together, have a crack and build something of our own.
This event is being funded from my own pocket, with people donating their time, skills and creativity because they believe in the idea.
The dream is to grow this from a backyard party into bigger events and eventually multi-day festivals, while creating more opportunities to actually pay the artists and people who help make these events happen.
All money made goes back into future events.

FOOD + DRINKS
Food and drinks will be available to purchase, with pre-ordering recommended as extra stock will be limited.
IF YOU'RE DRINKING, DON'T DRIVE.
Camp, use the shuttle and look after your mates.
If you have questions, message us on Instagram. We'd rather you ask than guess.
Come see the costumes, hear the music and help us build something pretty fucking cool.
Much love,
Australis Team <3
