The festival starts Friday 5pm and includes yoga and fun activities for kids on the Saturday morning.
Add into the mix the island’s great cheese, beef and seafood and its great surf, dive and beachcombing beaches, as well as a couple of Australia’s best golf courses, and you are likely to find all your sensations tingling by the end of the festival weekend.
It’s all great fun, family-friendly, casual and relaxed.
