Walk From Town
Get your daily exercise and walk to the festival! The festival site is close to town, where there is plenty of non-restricted parking available – The Australian Standing Stones is a short 15-minute walk via Tregurtha Way at the eastern end of Bourke Street. Please note it’s steep towards the end and not recommended for those with mobility or health issues.
You also might find a parking spot along Bourke St or nearby side streets.
