Camping
Camping IS INCLUDED in your registration fees if you purchase the 3 Day ticket:
Toilet and shower facilities are comfortable but basic. You can expect queues during peak times for the showers. In the event of rain, each site has undercover shelters and buildings to make socialising more comfortable. Campers need to be self-reliant including tent, bedding, sleeping bags and toiletries and any self catering. Camping gear will be transferred by the shuttle bus to the camp grounds each night for collection. Camping gear needs to be well packaged and labelled to assist its transfer and collection. Please avoid heavy swags and o not bring marquees as these are difficult for volunteers to carry and load. |

Accommodation – Other
Walkers are free to arrange accommodation at the guest houses available close by to the walk in the Noosa Hinterland. If you choose to do this you will need to organise your own transport to and from the walk each day. Some hosts are happy to assist with this.
These include:
Other accommodation, though slightly further away is available in the Noosa Valley, Boreen Point and also Noosa Heads itself.
Visit Tourism Noosa’s website for more accommodation options.
Walkers are to undertake bookings directly with the accommodation house; it is not offered as a package by the event organiser. Transfers to and from private and guest houses need to be arranged with the guest house – we are unable to offer this service.
Booking alternative accommodation does not discount the walker’s registration fee, as this is a small component of the overall cost.
