Venue
The venue is ???????????, an amazing camp all to ourselves in a rural
area just outside Auckland (40 minutes from Central Auckland).
It's got great kitchens, some little halls for workshops (good floors
for bounce juggling, might get mats in for acrobalance), good camping,
abundant cabins, and some awesome outdoor spaces with fire sites.
A festival marquee will be up for 24-hour practice, workshop and party place.
Around the site there are open fields and forests. Not far away is the
rugged ???????? beach,
Shops are a 7 minute drive away, some on-site catering will be provided.
If you are coming from overseas, fly into Auckland.
Public Transport:
From Auckland Railway Station a train/bus combination will get you to ???????????? township in 55 minutes.
We will do [b]pick-ups from ???????????? Library at 12.30pm and 5.30pm on Thursday and Friday[/b].
