This time we are going to go again with a caravan park/cabin style accommodation and the two-day out and back formula. Because of the big turnout for 2025, hotel accommodation is not feasible and this way people can choose cabin or BYO caravan/camper options.
We have chosen the BIG4 Ingenia Holidays Phillip Island (link Below), as it has various options to choose from, it is suggested you book early to ensure you get the option that best suits your needs. The caravan park is just across the bridge, when you arrive on Phillip Island, it’s on the left. https://www.ingeniaholidays.com.au/our-parks/victoria/big4-ingenia-holidays-phillip-island. All accommodation arrangements are to be booked by the individual attendees.
