Day 2 of the festival was held at Sandfields Beach, SA1 and was the beginning of a very hot spell of weather, prompting everyone onto the beaches. The recycle eco-band was once again very popular with youngsters practicing their drumming skills, making sea music.

The festival at Sandfields had been a successful day with lots of participants interested in the concepts and ideas behind the festival. They felt that it was a great way to raise awareness of endangered marine species on our coastline. The next day the festival would be moving to Blackpill Beach. |
