Golden Plains Bus 2026

Lock in your seat! This ticket is just to save your spot on the bus — total cost will be ~$70–$100 (depending on numbers), with the $30 going toward the final price.

All are welcome, but spots are limited (~45 max) — so make sure everyone in your crew grabs one by the 21st of Feburary.

Once you’re in, we’ll add you to a WhatsApp group for updates.

The important bits:

• Bus leaves: 6:30 AM sharp.
• Be there: 6:00 AM to load gear so we can actually leave at 6:30.
• Where: Northcote Junior Football Club carpark (McDonell Park, end of Clifton St).
• Parking: Plenty of spots to leave your car for the weekend.
• Toilets: None at the carpark or on the bus — plan your poops accordingly.
• Drop off: The bus drops everyone at a single location (usually Ringwood, ~S13 on the Meredith map — look for the orange star in the event photo).
• Pick-up: From the same spot. You’re free to camp wherever you like (including with the bus crew!), but if it’s not near the drop-off, you’ll need to walk to/from.
• Leaving Golden Plains: Pick up Monday 12pm, back in Melb ~2pm (or later, pending seedy Maccas stop on the way home).

Other notes:

• For the love of god, bring your ticket.
• We booked the bus from that movie “the bus that couldn’t slow down” so it won’t be waiting for sleepy heads (bit rich coming from me). If you’re lost/running late, call Emma or Pat, or anyone already there.

See you there or be square or something!
