LIVING YOUR BEST VANLIFE

The old adage about where there’s a will, there’s a way, has perhaps never been truer with respect to Victorian Peter Carr.

A fifth-generation resident of the gloriously picturesque but often overshadowed Victorian coastal enclave of Portland, Carr woke up one morning and decided he was going to create the town’s first music festival dedicated to lovers of the RV lifestyle.

A successful builder, helicopter pilot and lifelong traveller, Carr not only wanted to showcase the beauty of his hometown, but also create a laid back, casual event in an isolated setting where campers, caravanners and motorhomers of all ages could free camp wherever they felt like it, relax after a scenic road trip and enjoy quality Australian music acts.

And so, Way Down South was born. The festival will take place from 19–21 February 2021, offering two days and two nights of great Aussie music and camping for up to three nights.
