Oh joy! After a pretty wet and rainy Saturday setting up the party, we were left with a fine and not-too-cold evening and night. Minor flooding did not affect proceedings too much and Infusion were bloody great - much like the punters! :) If you've got any stories to share, see you in the forums. As for photos, apologies for the slackness - we have some which I try and get up by Friday. Please get in touch if you have some photos of Summer Soulstice that you would like to see here.

Update 24 Dec 06: Photos are finally up, thanks for sending them in! Enjoy. Merry Christchurch and have a safe and happy New Year!

Please note that we have had a change of venue to Okuku River. New directions have been updated below.

Tickets are $30 from Hunters & Collectors on High Street, $40 on the Gate.

Spectacular lighting by Illuminati.

Directions to Site

The site is next to the Okuku River, about 40 minutes north of Christchurch.

Head out along State Highway 1 (the motorway) take the Rangiora/Lineside Rd exit). Go along this to Rangiora, and go through the township.

Continue north out of Rangiora, passing over the Ashley River. Stay on that road (Whiterock Rd), through Loburn and North Loburn (about 15km). Turn left at Summer Soulstice sign into Taaffes Glen Rd which is gravel. The party will be signposted from Loburn. You can use the map from the last Autumn Equinox.

No Dogs, No Glass, No Alcohol. There will be an Alcohol Search!!
Please bring Water, Warm Clothes and a Happy face!!

This little piggy went to market..

There will be stalls selling clothes and stuff from about 5 or 6 until dark, and then again in the morning if there are enough people around.

If you are interested in setting up a stall, please email Karl by 30 November: hiaces_are_cool AT hotmail DOT com.

Hare Krsna Natural Food Caravan

Serving the likes of Samosas, Rice and vegetable dishes, pies, hot wedges etc.... All of the food is natural vegetarian food and real yummy. I'm told that if you've ever been to Govinda's restaurant or Gravity Café, its sort of a combination of the foods there.
