What a great festival Falls was.

As a local neighbour, I would like to thank the organisers and patrons for a really well-run, well-organised and well-supported festival.

I was at first opposed to the festival site. Now after Splendour and Falls we cannot complain when 15,000–25,000 are having so much fun.

As we learn and see what the owners of the site are doing and have planned we are impressed. Thank you.

Mark Wato, Billinudgel
