Booze and Drug Bus
Rating: +0
Every year for more than a decade there has been a Booze Bus operating on the road either to or from the festival, and sometimes both. In recent years these buses have also been testing for drugs. In 2008 Victoria Police mounted a large roadside operation for traffic going in to the festival on the Friday. We anticpate that this will happen again for 2009. The Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre festival organisers do not condone the use of illicit drugs, and we abhor the practice of driving over the legal limit. So please be warned and take great care in driving to and from the festival.
At the festival each year, the TAC set up a fantastic bus named Vanessa who is equipped with many breath-testing stations and friendly staff who enable to festival-goers to check their blood alcohol content before making a decision about driving a vehicle. What an absolutely terrific idea. We love Vanessa, she's a ripper. Check the festival program booklet or Info Centre at the festival for details of where Vanessa and her staff will be located for the exit.
