Adventure Travel Film Festival (Australia) - 15-17 Feb 2013
 

Hi guys!

Just a heads-up that the 2013 Adventure Travel Film Festival (Australia) is fast approaching! It'll be in the gorgeous Alpine Valley region of Victoria, in the village of Bright, 15th-17th Feb 2013.

I'm one of the organisers and I can tell you that this year's line-up of adventurers, workshops, adventure films and cold beer is going to be even more brilliant than last year! Plus Austin Vince and Lois Pryce will once again be joining us in beautiful Bright to ensure the weekend goes off with a suitable bang!

All details are right here on the website:

Australian Festival 15-17 Feb 2013 : The Adventure Travel Film Festival

My advice is to buy tickets soon as they're already selling like hot cakes and when they're gone, they're gone!

Hope to see you there, guys.

as in where other people will be pitching so as to continue the bier into the wee hours of the morning talking :9898:

Camping in Bright
 

Hi ozranger!

Great to hear you're joining us at the Festival. :thumbup1:

There are numerous camping options in and around Bright that will all be populated by festival-goers that weekend. One we'd recommend is:

Bright Pine Valley Tourist Park - Bright's prettiest park - luxury cabins, budget cabins and powered sites

A great spot - mention the Festival when booking!

See you there!

Damn$40 a night ! that's steep
Do you know any cheap places to pitch a tent? Side of the road, shallow ditch....
I'm Corey who emailed you. Just for future reference :)

Free and Budget Top Camp Sites, Best Camping Grounds and Caravan Tourist Holiday Parks Australia - Camps Australia Wide

Hi Corey!

I figured it was you when I saw your Las Vegas location in your profile - hello again!

This place offers very cheap camping options - an "unpowered" pitch is $16, I think:

Bright Backpackers - Victoria

Hope this helps!

Thank you ozranger for pointing me over to this thread.

Anyone else driving down from Sydney?

oh no!
my mate pulled out who was giving me a lift (work commitments)
i am flying in from vegas arriving at 1:30 pm in melbs and we were going straight up from there.
now it looks like i won't be able to make it up till sat arvo if i borrow a car. :(

is any one driving up friday at that time?? can i please grab a lift?
i have organised a place to stay so no worries about that. i just need transport
:helpsmilie:

Hi Corey,

I've put the word out among people I know in Melbourne who might be going to the festival, and also Tweeted via my personal account and @austravfilmfest to see if anyone can help you out.

I'd give you a lift myself but I'm probably going up on the bike and will likely be leaving Thursday to help get things set up for the event.

I'll let you know if I hear of anyone who might be able to help you, though - will be a shame if you can't get there till Sat arvo!

Jeanie :mchappy:

thanks Jeanie your awesome!
yeah i would hate to miss most of the festival! but at worst at least i will make some of it.
thanks a bunch:D
