THE MAN IN BLACK – THE JOHNNY CASH STORY
MT BULLER ALPINE RESORT
SATURDAY 25 FEBRUARY 2012
AN EXPERIENCE NOT TO BE MISSED
Mt Buller village will come alive as guests head to the resort for a weekend full of entertainment. There will be activities for all ages over the whole weekend including a supervised Kids’ Club, guided nature walks, wining and dining, and of course simply enjoying the stunning mountains views in a cosy alpine lodge!
The heart of the alpine resort will turn into an open air theatre for the event, with the main stage being positioned in the centre of the grassy Bourke St ski run. Support acts will commence at 3pm and the live entertainment will continue into the evening with highlights including performances by ARIA Awarding winning Dan Sultan, and Adalita of Magic Dirt fame.
The main show will commence at approximately 9.30pm when Tex takes to the stage, supported by Rachel Tidd, and the Tennessee Four, for a two hour show - and according to The Australian, ‘When Tex Perkins grabs the microphone and growls “I’m Johnny Cash”, you believe him.’

MT BULLER ALPINE VILLAGE
Mt Buller Alpine Village is a unique destination, located in the heart of the Victorian Alps. In winter it operates as a ski resort, and when the snow melts and the skiers leave, the tiny village turns into a very cool summertime venue!
The majority of services remain in place in summer including a variety of bars and restaurants, accommodation houses and the supermarket as well as a gymnasium, indoor tennis courts and cinema.
With mountain views stretching to the horizon, wonderful flora and fauna abounding, and the soft breath of fresh alpine air, you will feel far from the city, but not too far from the comforts of home.
PERFORMANCE VENUE
Bourke St ski run makes an ideal natural amphitheatre, where guests can throw down picnic rugs and relax on the grassy slope during the outdoor show, enjoying a range of food and beverage offerings located within the event site.
A large stage will be complemented by two video screens to ensure that every seat is the best in the house.
ACCOMMODATION AND TRANSPORT
Mt Buller’s extensive range of accommodation options includes luxury hotels, upmarket all-suite properties, self contained apartments, motel-style facilities, and cost effective lodges. If you are after a special weekend away with all the trimmings, or are getting a group together to self-cater and share costs, then Mt Buller has the right accommodation option for you.
