Catching the bus: There will be a free park-and-ride bus service operating from the City bus station and Russell. This service will operate every 10 minutes from 8.30am.
Driving: Parking is available at Majura Park near Catalina Drive. If possible, we encourage all attendees to make use of the Park-and-Ride shuttle bus from the City and Russell.
Accessible parking is available off Nomad Drive, opposite Canberra Helicopters. These car parks allow you to park close to the event area and offer access via hard surfaces.
Melbourne Airport is always free entry but you have to pay for the rides.
