LOCATION
-
Dragon Dreaming is held at Cooradigbee Homestead, 542 Caves Rd, Wee Jasper.
Google Maps can send you on some long and sometimes rough roads so if in doubt, put Yass into Google Maps first and then once there, put in the Caves Road address to avoid ending up on these roads, especially if you are heading up from Victoria/Melbourne direction. -
Of course! The festival is held on the shores of Lake Burrinjuck and the water is usually the perfect temperature for swimming.
We'll have lifeguards stationed at the water's edge during daylight hours, and we ask that you refrain from swimming after dark for your own safety.
Children MUST be supervised in the water at all times by a responsible adult. -
Yes, but all large vehicles (over 6m) or towing vehicles (trailer/caravan) must purchase the large vehicle pass ($99+ booking fee). Please follow the specific instructions of traffic wardens on site.

WHAT TO BRING

We know you love your pet too much to place it in a confusing and scary environment with loud noises, flashing lights and many people, so we won’t take that question seriously. If you’re stuck, there are kennels and catteries for your fury friends in Yass or find a lovely human who can look after them for you. Please don't bring them to the event.
-
We’re going to stick up for your sleepy neighbours and say no. Nobody wants to hear your track selection at a festival unless you were booked to play on a stage.
Please leave it at home or you could risk it been confiscated.
-
No. Generators are both a fire hazard and make you an obnoxious neighbour. Those people next to you REALLY do not want to be woken by the noise or exhaust fumes in their tent. Any generators found on site will be confiscated and kept in a secure location awaiting collection as you exit the festival.
