The Melbourne Festival is always brilliant. We try to save a chunk of our entertainment budget to get there from NSW each year.

Comment - Been to the festival? Thinking of going? Share your thoughts. What did you enjoy? What were the positives? Dissapointed - then dish the dirt! Give us the goss! Dirty toilets long line? Fell in love? Great value or rip off? Looking for someone you met? Tell it how it is. No naughty words.

Rubbish Excellent
