Have you ever been to a big event like a festival or concert and thought I wonder how they did that? Well here is a sure fire way for you to find out what goes on behind the scenes of some of the countries top events, gain new experience plus get yourself a ticket in the process.

I've been a avid volunteer for various festivals for over ten years. Over the years I have volunteered for Sydney Mardi Gras, the London Film Festival, countless community projects and just recently the Peats Ridge Festival

Named one of the worlds most sustainable music and arts festivals, it is not surprising when I say I find every part of the organisation organic. This year we opted to to volunteeer on site for the decor team, helping to assist with the installation of the props, sets and decorations that give the festival its signature colour and vibrancy. Led by the ever amazing Camilla, who eye for detail is astounding, we spent two days at the beautiful Glenworth Valley site, helping the 2011 event to take shape

All in all it was a very positive experience. We met lots of new people, got to do things we wouldn't normally do and earnt our selves tickets to one of countries premier music festivals. Good deal really.
