Anyone heading to Bonython Park Friday or Saturday for some German beer & food? Went last year and it was absolutely packed so I can only guess that it's gonna be even bigger this year. A bit expensive when it comes to the booze but that's bound to be the case! I'm looking forward to it and can't wait to get stuck into the fantastic german lagers. :thumbsu:
 
This was awesome a few years ago but it’s just a crap now. Too many dick heads go there to get pissed and start fights.

The shitsnface was good but now it’s just an expensive piss up.

People go to a FESTIVAL where they serve UNLIMITED BEER and get pissed? Who woulda thunked it!

Haven't seen a fight the last 2 years :confused: Actually I completely disagree. It's been a fun and friendly atmosphere the last 2 years and I've had an absolute ball and am planning to do so again this weekend.

Please tell me what festivals aren't expensive?

If you're that cheap you can sneak alcohol in, easy as pie. But it'll just be like a normal saturday night in town getting blind off anywhere between $80-$200
 
Went a couple of years ago and it was great fun tho I was pretty devo I missed out on getting one of the green German hats with the feather in them. Drank plenty of 'DAB' and had a few kranskys and shit with god knows what organ meats in them.

Word of warning, take enough cash to last the day because the line ups at the ATMs are massive.
 
I wonder who actually runs it? From what I heard when it was up here, the local German society or whatever its called used to run it. Obviously someone is making a fair bit of dough out of the festival.
 
I also heard that on Friday some German TV crew are gonna be there and interview people to air back in Germany so if anyone wants to be on German TV, hit it up on Friday :thumbsu:

Passed out the last 2 years and both times my beer mug that you buy there got stolen so very keen to hold onto it this year. Fun times ahead this saturday, treat yourself and go party!

I agree although a few years ago might be an understatement. I think it was great about 10years ago when you could wander around with mates and get a table for drinking etc etc. The last one I went to it was packed with flannel wearing yobbos from elizabeth and someone near me got cracked over the head with a stein glass. Figured after that it wasn't worth going to ... too long a line ups and too many drunken tools.

btw. Stein glasses are often sold out at the event but you can usually buy them from the german club (great place for a feed and a few starter drinks on a night out) after the fact.
 
Yep too many people go there just to get maggoted and start fights. Last year 3 of my mates got their jaws broken in fights, 2 of which were because peoples beer got spilled (the other was completely his fault). It was MUCH better when it was up at Hahndorf, which is amazing really because up here in the Hills if you aint from Hahndorf you generally dont like anything from there. Its all well and good to go there and get blind and most people have a great time doing it, its just an ever increasing minority that think theyre awesome and want to fight everyone.

All that being said ill be going down there again this year with some mates. It doesnt look like its going to be too hot which is a bonus but it could also be a bad thing. More people + more bank cards = longer lines at the damn ATM !!!

Actually, now that i think about it shit did get pretty ugly at the cab rank last year. The queue jumpers who were cutting in had to come past us(the line) on the little U shaped road. Not the best thing to do.

I'm amazed that THREE of your mates got their jaws BROKEN on the same day....

I never see violence either. People like to talk up violence on the internet as if they are well 'ard and all but it's a load of bollocks really.

Well 2 of them definetly did, the other probably just thought it would be cool to join in, btw I never said my mates werent d1ckheads either. I thought the whole violence thing was just an over-reaction too but it does happen. That said, for the number of people that are there its held to a minimum. Generally it happens later on in the day when people have had enough and need to go home but dont, or lose patience. Talking to a few people in the police they say theyre going to double their efforts this year, but we all know that wont happen.

All in all most people go there, drink massive amounts of overpriced beer in huge jugs (or inbetween them if youre lucky enough!!!) and have some great food....... thats what ill be going there to do, despite the bank balance being at a minimum.
 
Went last year and it was not too bad. I was keen to get absolutley written off but come the day my mates weren't charging as hard as me so it ended up a bit of a non event.

I think it can be really enjoyable if you with a large group otherwise yobbos just seem to ruin it. As was the case with us last year. Oustide of food and beer it isnt that exciting. At least at music festivals like BDO and Parklife you have the music to get into as well.

Dont think im going this year as ive already commited to go out friday night. Plus all this xmas cheer and beer is catchin up with me. Forget our favourite sons on the preseason track, time for me to hit some serious training. 6am run tomorrow if ur keen lol
 
I have said this in a previous thread but I saw a bloke get smashed with a glass stein and came within mm of being killed or serious brain damage.

Havent been back since, I know it isnt the norm so that isnt what is keeping me away, I just didnt think the entire day was much chop. I would rather get a group of mates together for a bbq and some beers.
