- I attended last years Womadelaide, the venue was terrific.
- Forget all those fears about outdoor concerts, this location was perfect.
- The area has many large trees, for shade and plenty of room to move around
- There were two main stages, so whilst one band was setting up the other
- played. This meant that everyone got up and moved at the end of each act
- which was fun.
- There was a large area set aside for food and drink, which from memory was
- good.
- The atmosphere was great, after 30 hours of music over the weekend, the
- park could have been on another planet and no one would have cared.
- So with the added bonus of Gabriel's first Australian appearance and the
- other fine musicians, I think that Womadelaide '93 will be the event not
- to miss.
