Festival Info

The Nanga Music Festival is based at the Nanga Bush Camp. The Camp has various Jarrah cabins spread over a large, unspoilt forest which leads down to the banks of the Murray River. The three venues are set less than 10 minutes’ walk apart and patrons can easily walk between them.

The cabins are linked by gravel roads, so those unable to walk can still access all venues.

Please keep to the designated roads and do not follow tracks, especially at night. Coloured reflectors on posts next to each road indicate how to get to each building:

• Red reflectors to Woodshed
• Blue reflectors to Timbarra
• White reflectors to Currawong

Lighting

While lighting will be provided around the buildings and on the main roads, there may still be dark areas, and we strongly recommend that you bring a torch for movement between buildings after dark. The FESA emergency escape plan for Nanga depends on each individual having their own torch and the Festival Committee fully endorses this policy.

Catering

Pre-booked full catering will cost $60 for the whole festival. This includes a casserole-style dinner on Friday and Saturday nights, cooked breakfast on Saturday and Sunday, and soup and rolls and/or hamburgers at both lunches. It’s hearty camp food.

If you have pre-booked individual meals, the prices will be:

If you have not pre-booked meals, we cannot guarantee that you can be fed. However, if sufficient food is available, it can be purchased for a surcharge over and above the individual meal cost. i.e. Breakfast $9; Lunch $10 and Dinner $15.

You will also be able to purchase cake and mulled wine in the evenings and enjoy the traditional sausage sizzle after the evening concerts.

Paying for Meals

You can purchase meal tickets in the Woodshed venue on arrival at the festival. Please pay by cash or cheque because we don’t have any credit card or merchant facilities.

Cleaning

Nanga Bush Camp is a “self-clean” facility requiring groups to clean the building both during their stay and before departure. We ask you to pack up your rooms by 2pm on Sunday, so the buildings can be prepared for the school groups which will arrive on Monday morning.

You are responsible for clearing your own dishes from the tables and washing them.

A Green Festival

We want the Nanga Music Festival to be environmentally sustainable. We encourage you to minimise your waste: use the recycling bins for bottles, cans, plastics; put your vege scraps in the greens’ recycling bins and generally clean up after yourself.

Communication

Mobile phone service is not reliable on site. A Public Phone is located near the office for use by campsite guests. It can be accessed by Homelink or Phoneaway cards, and these are for sale at the office. Incoming, urgent calls can be directed to the Campsite Managers on 9538 1300 and messages will be passed on.

Electricity

Nanga Bush Camp has sufficient electricity capacity to supply the needs of its own facilities. However, this capacity is limited, and you are requested not to bring your own electrical appliances. In particular, people camping outside the buildings will not be able to access the power in the buildings. Generators are also not permitted.

When you Arrive

Stop at the gate, and present your ticket.  You will be given a wristband, program and your room allocation. 

First, drive to your accommodation building; park carefully (minimise space); find your room, claim your bed and settle in.

If you are using the catering service, then go to the Woodshed building and pay for and collect your meal tickets. Hand these in at each meal.

Enjoy the festival!
