How to get to the Festival
Transport is one of the main ways by means of which we impact on the environment, accounting for around 30% of the carbon emissions of an average household. We are very excited to announce that TransLink is supporting this year’s festival by offering free travel on Sunbus scheduled services to and from the University of Sunshine Coast on Sunday 5 June 2011 between 8am and 5pm.
