Myaravale is a proposal for a mini music festival event of 500-700 people, gathered in a unique bush location, where people of all different ages and backgrounds can come together and enjoy nature and music, two of the finer things in life. The event will never be more than once a year, and is a family friendly event catering for people from 18 to 60+ , including a wide variety of musical genres. Myaravale's unique location and cosy atmosphere makes it ideal for a small-style festival where a good atmosphere permeates, bred by amazing surrounds and diverse music, washed down with a glass of Milbrook wine and Mundella fetta. Our event is strictly invites only and only open to responsible patrons who can respect the bush, other patrons, nearby neighbours and themselves.

The Myaravale music festival seeks to:

• Promote and benefit a range of local businesses including but not limited to Milbrook Winery, Keysbrook Landscapes,Serpentine Bottleshop and Mundella Foods.
  
  
• raise funds for the local fire brigade from a car tax on all vehicles of $20 (intended to decrease the minimal impact on local roads)
  
  
• promote and increases awareness of the beauty and uniqueness of the region of Serpentine-Jarrahdale;
  
  
• enhance the social fabric and culture of the region for one weekend of the year;
  
  
• raise thousands of dollars for East Timor in memory of a pioneer of the community;
  
  
• enable the Serpentine-Jarrahdale Parents and Citizens community to raise substantial funds through catering for the event; and
  
  
• introduce new skills into the area, including a free advice clinic on the one of the Saturday morning of the event with leading lawyers, engineers, architects, accountants and more, including Gardening Australia's Josh Byrne who will be on hand to answer all your gardening questions and conduct a workshop on organic gardening and permaculture.

• There will be a large security presence for a comparatively small number of patrons. We do not expect tresspassers as it is an invitation only event; anyone stupid enough to will be prosecuted and dealt with by the police.
  
  
• A 'green team' of environmentally minded volunteers will co-ordinate recycling along with other environmental mananagement and education exercises.
  
  
• The local fire brigade recently confirmed their involvement at their monthly meeting and will be volunteering their time to help direct traffic and be on standby should there be any fire risk
  
  
• There is a revegation workshop along the native brook, involving weeding and plantings on Sunday morning. It remains possible for nearby land owners interested to have volunteers help on their creekline. Murdoch University Environmental Science Assocation will conduct the workshop.
  
  
• There was no trepsassing last year. The only ‘trespass’ that occurred last year was a few of the festival organizers visited a neighbour to try and strike a compromise regarding music on the Sunday. There will be no music on the Sunday this year.
  
  
• Some of the anticipated varietys of music include jazz, folk rock, blues n roots, gospel singers, keyboardists and more. All the musicians have generously donated their time and labour for free to raise money for East Timor.
  
  
• Why East Timor? The previous farm owner was a commando in Timor in WWII. Legend has it, he and his comrades, with the assistance of the Timorese people held back a 10,000 strong garrison of Japanese from marching down onto Australia. In return for their kindness he and his mates had 300 Timorese to visit Australia, where they camped on his property, several times.. Timor needs all the help it can get – it is the poorest nation in Asia. We expect to raise significant funds for East Timor through this event. Give us a fair go, it's all we ask.
