Getting To GNW
By Road
The event site is located on 3246 Old Gympie Road, Beerwah, Qld. From the township of Landsborough (after crossing over the railway line) go straight ahead along the Maleny/Landsborough Rd and take the second road on the left (at the roundabout) – Gympie St South.
Go along this road about 2kms and you will cross over the bridge at Rocky Creek and we are the next driveway on your left.
By Train
The Beerwah Train Station is a 8 minute drive away from site in the Nambour Line. The train ride from the Brisbane airport to the Beerwah Train Station will take approximately 1 hour 20 minutes.
We have a volunteer pick up coordinator for Train Station pick ups.
Please indicate in your booking if you would like to organise a pick up from the Beerwah Train Station and our volunteer coordinator will contact you. See the Translink website for more information on timetables and journey planning.
It might be a nice gesture to throw a fiver at your pickup volunteer to help cover their fuel.
There will be NO Airport pickups organised via the GNW crew this year.
If you do not have a direct contact the booking team will happily advertise locally for a pick up but cannot guarantee one.
We recommend catching the Airtrain service, Brisbane Airport via Eagle Junction then to directly to Beerwah station on the Nambour line.
Journey should cost approx. $24 one way – you can plan your trip from the Translink website: https://jp.translink.com.au/plan-your-journey/journey-planner
Accessibility
Site
The site is mainly flat ground, with a gravel track running down the middle of the site being used. Previous attendees have had mobility scooters on site, with minimal issues.
Food hall
The food hall, where you will get your meals before taking them to the feasting tent, as a small concrete lip entry (not an issue for most mobility scooters). If you require assistance with collecting your meals, please let the stewards know, and we will organise help for you.
Dietary requirements
This year, we will only be able to cater for the following dietart requirements:
- Gluten free
- Dairy free
- Nut free
- Vegetarian
While all attempts at meeting allergens needs will be made, there is no guarantee that all meals will meet your individual needs. If you wish to go off-board, there is a separate camp kitchen on site that is available to store and cook foods.
Feasting tent
This year we will have more space available in the feasting tent, with the option for people who prefer to use their own chairs to do so at the end of each table. Tables can also be reserved near areas suitable to keep mobility scooters or frames – please let the stewards know if you wish to reserve such a table.
Overhead festoon lights are in both the main feasting tent, as well as the Catweasel Cafe/Jolly Duc Tavern.
Toilet/Shower Facilities
The main toilet/shower block has an accessible shower in both the ladies and men’s shower sections. There is a gender neutral bathroom with shower and toilets available.

Some site photos of the marquees being set up:
The huge fire pit that brings back the GNW Bonfire feeling
One of the many bunk rooms… not exactly the Hilton, but they are comfy and simple
And how’s this for style? Plenty of hot and cold running water available for all!
And of course, the amazing kitchen that our feast teams will cook volumes of food for you to make sure your belly is full… oh, plus there is a cold room in the back there which has the Jolly Duc team REALLY excited.
