FACILITIES AND INFORMATION
The Convention is held at the historic and Heritage listed Camp Eureka - www.campeureka.org.au. We couldn't think of a better place for it. There is a huge concert hall with open sides, a smaller
hall, large kitchen/dining room (communal cooking encouraged), a covered barbeque area
and 35 acres of bush, with a small creek. Be nice to the hard working Camp Eureka Working
Collective folk who work the gate. Ask them about the Camp, and how you can get involved
in maintaining this icon of the old Victorian left and an Australian founding place of the
"folk revival".
CAMPING
Most people camp. There are no powered sites, but electricity can be arranged only if
needed for medical equipment. To get a good spot, come early. Early Bird access is available
from 2.00pm Thursday for an extra $10 per person. Campfires are banned.
BUNKHOUSES
Individual and single sex bunkhouse huts are available. The huts have electric lights but no
power points. No extra charge. To check availability ring Trish Glazier on 0438348779
TOILETS AND SHOWERS
*Brand new toilets including an accessible one have been installed up near the Rec hut*
Elsewhere on site are pit toilets, of usual good bush camping standard, recently upgraded. The showers are wood-heated, so hopefully someone will have lit the water heaters before you get there.
FOOD
Food vendor will be on site. Hot Indian Food has a range of food and drinks or
participants can self cater using the kitchen if they don't have cooking facilities
at their camp.
Coffee van - Saturday & Sunday from 7am
Other times tea and coffee available to self serve in the kitchen.
A LOAD OF OLD RUBBISH
Thanks everyone for last year's rubbish control !!!.
We strive to keep entry fees as low as we can and as rubbish disposal is a huge annual cost
and the local tip has closed we are asking for your assistance.
General Rubbish:
Campers when you enter the Festival you will be given a rubbish bag,please use this for all of
your rubbish and take it home.
Day Trippers , bins are available in and around the kitchen area and in the big hall.
Recycling:
The Eureka Collective has a responsible recycling mind set and bins for this purpose will be
placed all over the site. NO GENERAL RUBBISH IN THESE BINS.
NO BUTTS:
Cigarette butts must NOT be thrown on the ground ,firstly it is a fire hazard and secondly we
have to pick up every one.
