WRITTEN IN THE STARS

Thank you.

What a weekend.

Hot, balmy, breezy, fresh… and Golden. Filled throughout with some of the most extraordinary performances the Supernatural Amphitheatre has ever hosted.

First rate fun on the Nolan farm. Thank you, wonderful people, for being such fabulous guests.

Photographic highlights can be viewed here and below, with thanks to Steve Benn, Theresa Harrison and Naomi Lee Beveridge.

As ever, we would love to hear your thoughts.

Until we go around again,

A GALAXY FAR, FAR AT HOME

Golden Plains XII Happens over two days and two nights in glorious Autumn in the greatest of outdoors at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre, Victoria, Australia. The Sun arrives eight minutes and twenty seconds after it left and lands like honey on the trees. Afternoon goes on all day and The Big Bang happens twice. The first GP rolled out in 2007; the more things change, the more they stay the same, including a commitment to constant improvement: GPXII will be the same shape, same size, and still proudly and genuinely BYO – not just in the campgrounds but the Amphitheatre – with no commercial sponsors, the one and only stage, the renowned No Dickhead Policy, and best-practice services and facilities.

CONSTELLATION OF CONSTANT ELATION

The Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre has been natured and nurtured on twenty-six years of knuckled-down know-how, for the singular purpose of hosting Something Uniquely Remarkable. It is designed and built purely for this. It is permanent. It’s one of the best places on Earth to spend A Long Weekend with friends and lovers – and yourself – exploring inner and outer space.

STRATOSPHERIC

GPXII will be very, very Golden.

Manifold highlights days and nights – some directed, most unexpected.

The controls are set for the heart of Premium Mode.

USEFUL

Every ticket helps regional organisations do great things in the district. At the festival, feeding yourself from the Community Tucker Tent helps twelve local organisations do their thing for Meredith town. Uncle Doug’s Tree Project allows you to offset your travel and waste emissions and we match it dollar for dollar – thousands of trees have been planted around the farm as a result. The festival privately helps fund local community and arts projects. We are grateful to the wonderful district who so graciously help host Golden Plains and her sister festival Meredith.

TWELVE

A number revered by early mathematicians and astronomers alike, assigned to divide the sky and define time itself, reflecting the movements of divine beings.

What Was Said

Here is some of what was said about Golden Plains XII.

DOZEN

To assist, Little Golden Booklet has playing times, maps, tips, what to bring, and a water-expandable polymer toy likeness of the long-extinct Plains Bunyip.

Thanks from everyone here, for being interested in Golden Plains. It’s a great pleasure to dream hard, work hard, play easy and conduct all manner of tangible and intangible activities to bring this thing together each season.

We remain open to ideas.

I hope to see you in The Sup’.
