the Syk Syd 3 day party survival guide...
first & foremost treat this as if u were going on a 3 day trail.
it pays to travel lightly (less shit to lose when ya... umm... in a tranceWink)... i highly reccomend u buy 10 litres of water & place the bladder(full) in the freezer 1 month b4 hand(so its very frozen)
2 hours b4 departure place it in ur good sized esky wrapped in news paper then head to the shops & grab as much fruit, muslie/breakfast bars as u think u can consume in 4 days & a loaf of bread & squeezable honey(my preference & easy).maybe even canned food
but actually...this is wot i took to rainbow serpant(3 day party arrived friday sunset/left midday monday,& it was still kickin on)
1 loaf of country split
1 squeezable honey
14 lady finger nana's( them li'l fat ones)
1/2 pineapple
4 granny smith apples
6 oranges
1 box of cornflake brekkie bars
1 box of rice bubble breekie bars
4 viking bars...
(i gave a couple things away & it still lasted my stay)
2 litre tropical fruit juice
10(litre of said frozen water in bladder)
1 sharp knife 1 plate 1 cup
----------------------------------------------
there is free drinking water available but it does pay to take some of ur own(so u dont have to walk to refill all the time)
& very yummy food is also available & incredibly well priced but all costs add up considering ticket price getting there etc...

it is really important that u take clothes u dont mind gettin filthy as generally it is warm & dusty... for tha gals, sarongs & bikini's/tee's(particularly colorful) seem popular but it pays to take some jeans/trakkies & a jumper or 2(& a hoody) coz it can get very cool overnite...
guys...well, i wore trakkies drivin there, 3 pairs of shorts & 2 jeans 2 tee's 2 tanktops 1 hoody & 4 boxers,i wore all of it!
the toilets can get a bit grubby, not as bad as i have seen here but take some toilet paper Wink
some of these sites have showers on or near the site but i reccomend u get ur self a "solar shower" from one of those army disposal places...its amazing, they actually work! & worth every cent of $10... take a towel or 2 & i really reccomend johnson n johnson kids shower gel/shampoo in 1... yum!
oh! & take a tent(some enjoy their swag) but sometime u will want ur own space & privacy so i reccomend not sharing & there is plenty of room so why notWink... most importantly is to take something unique that glows(or u have buck up batteries for) cos finding ur "village in the dark is a pretty difficult task especially when ur umm...Off ChopsnStoned Cheesy Grin tongue


if u can put aside creature comforts for 4 days u will have the time of ur life!

when u get back home u will really appreciate those comforts like ur own bed etc... but there really is something very special about partying & roughing it that has to be experienced...
i'll add more soon

til the next episode of party survivor


peace

hey nev, great info pack man. this is gunna be something i really need.. lots of stuff you thought of... plus ive allready thought of other stuff im gunna hafto take

errm Nev, doyou have info on whether you can use your vehicle to camp in? like if i wanted to camp in my van,can i have it in near the tents? i didnt think i could. if i cant a tent looks like the go.. im driving over inthe van i have decided..... some people have asked and talked about getting a lift and so far in the trusty van is Alb_kun, Ultrarvr, Me driving and space for one or two more at most with all the gear we'llhave....
I htink joels idea of a little ITm community in the middle of the tentzone would be memorable experience with us psynutters....


THIS IS GUNNA BE SICKER THAN SICK

yeah dude u most certainly can, alot of ppl have campervan/motorhome thingies instead of tents,its definately more comfortable!

okies as far as mini bus(12 passengers) hire goes ....
so far the 2 companies that have got back to me have similar quotes...on my previous 2 visits to Victoria had 3 fuel stops each way @ around $35 = $210.

ezy rent = $125 per day including insurance & 1500 Kms(extra 20 cents per Km charge over 1500kms) which totals $625 + fuel.
$835 total.... if there is 12 of us it will cost $70 each.

Smile rent a bus... $110 per day + $11 insurance per day + fuel(no other charges) = $815 with 12ppl will cost $68 each

but!!!
then there is excess if we're involved in an accident($750)...
but with myself & fluoro driving, the chances of that are very unlikely...

i'm hoping to recieve another quote around 6pm & i reckon it should be a li'l cheaper....so hows it sounding so far??
keep in mind there is still the earthcore ticket + consumables so its fair to say a $250-$300 per person for a 5 day trancedental journey leaving 10am friday 28/11/03 returning tuesday 2/12/03 around 7pm..... hows it sounding now?

hey Nev, the quotes are pretty good. It's actually cheaper than I thought it would be.

I'd definately like to score a seat on the ITM minibus Smilie
