A FEW THINGS TO NOTE…

• Due to NYE on the Hill being on a hill, there is limited flat ground. As a result, the camp-ground is located approximately 500m from the car park. You cannot camp next to your car. Arrive early to secure the flattest sleeping area.
• A Baggage Ferry System will be operating on the first and last days of the festival and more information about this can be found in the FAQ page on the website – www.nyeonthehill.com.au 
• Yes, NYE on the Hill is BYO as well as being BYO we also have four awesome themed licensed bars to explore while you're here. Just sayin'! Please don’t bring any glass.
• Car passes are required (see below) so please try to car-pool with friends as this will lower the environmental impact on the farm and make for a more fun-filled road trip.
• Upon arrival at the site, you will be required to present your passes/Tickets. Anyone without the required pass/ticket will not be allowed access to the car park or the event.

TRANSPORT

CAR PASS POLICY

To minimise the number of cars attending the event and to have a positive effect on traffic and the environment (the farm) everyone wishing to park a vehicle at the event MUST purchase a car pass.

Should you arrive on-site without a valid car pass a significantly higher fee will be charged to enter the festival site. If you are found to be parked on the side of the road within the vicinity of the event site police will be notified and your car will be towed and impounded.

All profits from the car passes will go to Environmental initiatives on the event site and in the local area.  For all vehicles arriving with 3 or more peeps the full car pass fee will go to the local environmental initiative.

BUSES

Yes! Buses will be running from Melbourne (Southern Cross Station) to 'The Farm' and back again. Happy roadtrippin' indeed.
