The spokesperson said revellers could create a ‘party’ in app and download a map of the festival grounds near Launceston before arriving on site.

Groups can then ‘pin’ meeting points or other points of interest on their maps.

Brothers Jade and Jessy Mulholland created the SearchParty app.

The app is available on IOS and Android.

Party in the Paddock runs from February 6-8 and this year’s edition will be the last.
