Directions:
From Newcastle: Head north-west along the Newcastle Link Road, straight ahead through 2 roundabouts. At the major intersection with Cameron Park Drive / Woodford Street (traffic lights), turn left. Continue 1.8 km along Cameron Park Drive, straight ahead at the next roundabout (becomes Carrington Street). Proceed straight ahead through the centre of town (becomes Railway Street) and continue straight at the O’Donnelltown Road intersection. The event site is approx. 2 km past this intersection, mostly unsealed. Parking on the left (east) side of the road ONLY please.
From Sydney / M1 (northbound only): Take the Wallsend exit from the M1 (that’s the exit before the Newcastle exit). Turn right onto George Booth Drive, then right into Carrington Street (first roundabout, for West Wallsend). Proceed straight ahead through the centre of town (becomes Railway Street) and continue straight at the O’Donnelltown Road intersection. The event site is approx. 2 km past this intersection, mostly unsealed. Parking on the left (east) side of the road ONLY please.
From the M1 (southbound only) or M15: Take the Newcastle exit from the M1, or proceed straight ahead for Newcastle from the M15. In both cases, you need to be in the RIGHT-most lane, so that you can turn right at the major intersection with Cameron Park Drive / Woodford Street (traffic lights). Continue 1.8 km along Cameron Park Drive, straight ahead at the next roundabout (becomes Carrington Street). Proceed straight ahead through the centre of town (becomes Railway Street) and continue straight at the O’Donnelltown Road intersection. The event site is approx. 2 km past this intersection, mostly unsealed. Parking on the left (east) side of the road ONLY please.
From Lake Macquarie / Alternative access (via Killingworth): Drive through Killingworth on The Broadway and turn right at the intersection with The Boulevarde. The event site is approx. 1.8 km from this intersection, mostly unsealed. Parking on the right (east) side of the road ONLY please, which may mean driving past, then doing a U-turn where safe. It is rumoured that there could be fewer potholes via this approach.
