HOW TO GET THERE
Meredith Music Festival is held at the Meredith Supernatural Amphitheatre,
on Mt. Mercer Road, near a town called Meredith, in Victoria, Austrlia.
Meredith the town is halfway between Geelong and Ballarat on the Midland
Highway (A300), about 90kms due West of Melbourne. By car from Melbourne
it is a 110 minute drive, however you should allow two and a quarter hours
on the weekend of the festival. Melway Map: 611 C4. The festival can also
be reached by public transport.
DRIVING DIRECTIONS
From Melbourne, take the Princes Fwy to Geelong. Just before you get to
the Geelong CBD there will be signs for Ballarat and Geelong West, this
is the Midland Highway (A300). Take this exit (it's a left hand exit ramp)
towards Ballarat. Meredith the town is about 40 minutes drive along the
Midland Highway, halfway between Geelong and Ballarat. At Meredith, turn
left at the Royal Hotel, this is Mt. Mercer Rd. The Meredith Music Festival
