The three-day family-friendly event held on March 10-12, 2017, is a festival of music arts and sustainability, offering a full programme of performances, installations, a kids zone and workshops focused on these central themes.
Rachael says it is the styling which makes Sundaise "truly unique and sought after on the festival circuit".
"My styling is eclectic, bohemian and a little bit quirky.
"We have different stages and areas to the festival so I have the bigger picture in mind in terms of visuals, lighting and the event styling - I use a lot of lamps and other vintage props."
Sundaise 2017 is already shaping up to be the local high quality, arty festival that many stumbled-across for the first time in 2015. The festival ended up finalist at the 2015 Sustainability Business Awards.
At the last festival, the team created awareness about managing waste, diverting 97 per cent. All green and brown waste is composted on-site and used to fertilise the fields.
Established in 2011, next year's event promises to have even more hands-on workshops, more creativity and more music collaboration than ever before, Rachael says.
The BYO event also includes free camping with visitors taking the opportunity to swim in the river running through the property during their stay, or explore the nearby bushland and native tracks.
