If you are driving to the festival and plan to arrive before the camping gates open, we urge you not to stay roadside as there will be no facilities on Paynes Road until Thursday. Please always be mindful of the general road rules, etiquette and the local community i.e don't be blocking roads, park safely, don't go to the toilet on people's property, take all rubbish and generally just not be annoying.
ENTERING THE FESTIVAL:
If you are heading in from Ipswich turn right at Coopers Road then left into Ebenezer Road until you reach Mt Forbes Road (approx 8.5kms), turn left onto Mt Forbes Road then left into Paynes Road and travel approx 5kms until you reach the entry to the campgrounds.
There are a few roads along the way that you may be tempted to try and take a shortcut i.e. Higgs Road and Wilkes Road, but these roads do not have access to Paynes Road.
If you are heading in from Warwick turn left at Goebels Road and follow for approx 10kms turn right into Mt Forbes Road and follow to Paynes Road where you will turn right and travel approx 5kms to the campground entry.
