An example concert window. The driver leaves after the drop-off, so a drop and collect carries no waiting charge.

Parking passes
For A Day on the Green at Bimbadgen, car parks are pre-bought as $20 passes, allocated first come, first parked. Minibuses under 18 seats need a $30 pass (both as listed on 31 Oct 2026).
Drop-off point
The promoter's Bimbadgen page lists parking passes and bus spaces but no car drop-off zone. Your driver sets you down at the nearest permitted point and agrees a collection spot with you.
Wet weather
If significant wet weather affects on-site parking, the promoter refunds parking passes and patrons must buy a ticketed shuttle bus instead. On such a day, private cars follow the promoter's directions too.
Later shows
No 2027 lineup for Roche Estate or Hope Estate could be confirmed on 31 Oct 2026, so none is listed here. The fares on this page apply to any show at the three venues.
Event buses
Event buses run from set stops on a timetable and cost less per seat. A GR8 car costs more, but it leaves from your door and returns at your time.
