Alternative energy cars to race across outback

South Australia's Premier Mike Rann has used the start of the Adelaide 500 motor racing event to announce another event, promoting alternative energy vehicles.

The Global Green Challenge has evolved from the success of the World Solar Challenge.

It will be run from Darwin to Adelaide in October and include hybrid, electric and low-emission vehicles, as well as solar-powered.

Mr Rann says the event is perfect for a region that has a huge commitment to the car industry.

"Really we want this race to be the test bed for cars powered by renewable, sustainable energy and their coming of age," he said.

"There couldn't be a more perfect fit between a state that's committed to renewable energy and a car industry that's turning toward green cars."

it is the largest pubcrawl in Australia!

THE lions at Monarto are hungry for the roar of this weekend's Live at the Zoo festival.

The stage is all but set for South Australia's first camping music festival with some of Australia's biggest musical acts descending upon Monarto Zoo.

More than 6000 punters are expected to "go wild" at the event through festival director Peter Rowe's vision.

"I was looking for a venue that had good marketing potential and the scope to hold people in the future," Peter says.

"The site is just perfect for a large influx of people, and being Easter it's the perfect time of year for people to get away and enjoy some great music."

With more than 120 bands and DJs performing over the weekend, it's a festival-goers delight, but unlike many music festivals where you can spend more money inside the event than you did on the ticket, Live at the Zoo doesn't beat the same drum.

"We've made a very special effort to make sure all the beverages are at happy hour prices," Peter says.

"A lot of festivals really hit you for drink prices but we want to make sure that the weekend is good value."

More than 150 staff and volunteers will be on hand at the festival which finds campers overlooking the picturesque landscape and more importantly the main stage area.

But if the music becomes all too much, tours of the zoo will be held throughout the weekend.

You can head online to liveatthezoo.com for more details on this Adelaide first that is bound to become one of our state's most exciting music festivals.

"This festival has the potential, especially for the demographic we are aiming for," Peter says.

"As we build this reputation up to the level of a Fringe or WOMAD festival, we will be bringing in some big international acts."
