From the Anzacs to the Emergency Services it is the spirit and generosity of Australians that make's Australia what it truly is.

The Volunteer Firefighters of the Country Fire Authority in Region 8 (South East Melbourne, Peninsula, Westernport, and Bass) are holding the annual Firey's Festival on a property on the SE outskirts of Melbourne.

The Firey's Festival is an event to celebrate our efforts in fire fighting ( and not getting our arses burnt) that have been provided by volunteers, not only in major campaigns but providing fire and rescue services throughout the year. The volunteer firefighters vary from apprentices to managing directors and at the time and location place their jobs, businesses, families and life on hold to combat the universal and serious threat of bushfire and firefighting in Australia.

The festival is open to all registered volunteers, career or office staff that also volunteer their time and their immediate family with invited guests and is limited by numbers. Invitation priority will be taken from the first registration date with payment via email with a confirmation of invitation status via return email. Registration and ticket sales will commence on 1st October 2010

The event has been supported and sponsored by Australians and Australian Companies and we would like to thank all involved for their assistance and generosity in holding this as an event to thank the Volunteer Firefighters of the Country Fire Authority.

Fire:
The event will include a combination of  large bonfire and many select smaller fires for warmth. It will also include various types of fire display with fireworks, possibly fire dancing and some that we can’t tell you about just yet as they are under research and development wraps.

Music is what its also about. An invitation to play has been sent out to Australian performers in music, comedy and the arts. The music will be continuous with styles of music from blues to swing, rock to classics . Even we will not know who is playing until one week before the event. It will be backed from a full working MP3 player to some of Australia's most talented artists and performers. An invite will remain open for one international performance as a sign of Australian hospitality should they wish to perform.
