Travelling between wine regions and Biosecurity?

There are plenty of ways we make sure to not spread any nasties and we are absolutely happy to share our protocols with you.

Who presses play?
Sarah Mac - Dj of 15 Years
Vinyl collector, Music lover,
Milo Drinker.
Starting out as a bedroom DJ working on my skill, I had my first residency at ‘Somewhere Bar’ on the iconic Chapel Street in Melbourne every Thursday night.
From there, the gigs, experience and events grew. These venues were a training ground to teach me how to read a room and hold a crowd….and no one needs you to hold a crowd more, than a bar manager who needs drink sales to stay open.
Now I have hundreds (probably thousands) of weddings, club sets, private parties and festival sets to my name.
Away from Caravan Sounds I have a strong activation & events background working for Kiis 1011, Gold 104.3, Network 10 & Future Entertainment.
Three facts you didn’t ask for about me,
– Played over 200 games of womens football in the VFLW / EFNL
– Best gig attended ~ Daft Punk – Alive
– The first song I ever learnt all the words to as a kid was ‘Baby got back’ by Sir Mix-a-Lot ….clearly I had no idea what I was saying.
