ANZAC Weekend Hours:
Because ANZAC DAY falls on a Saturday this year, we will be closed both this Saturday and Monday.
* Saturday to honour the soldiers, and it just feels wrong to be open.
* Monday because it's a public holiday.

Easter already! Time is flying, isn't it? Andre has survived his 60th birthday week, and Dad enjoyed his stay in respite care. But it's all back to normal now.

As in the past few years, we're open only on Easter Saturday, as noted below. Let's hope the weather is kind to us. We hope to see you then. Drive safe, everyone.

The Beach Hop is just around the corner again. There will be 100's of cars on the airfield, Live Music, Craft Market, Food Stalls, and more. It was such a success last year that we decided to close the shop and join in on the fun. Hence, we will be closed. Such Fun!
That, and the access to our entrance is effectively blocked.

2 weeks to go

Music Picnic at the Point is excited to share that this year’s event will also be a local community fundraiser.

In previous years, entry fees have covered the costs of running the event. This year, we’re thrilled to be able to give a little back by supporting local community groups.

We’ve pre-selected three local beneficiaries, and when you arrive at the Main Gate on Saturday 14 February and pay your entry fee, you’ll receive a token. Simply place your token into one of the three containers to vote for the organisation you’d like to support.

Thank you for helping make this a wonderful family event — and for supporting our local community

FYI: - not long now.

Heads up everyone!

To help reduce the load on our generous volunteers this year, there will be no second entrance at the event.

Please take a moment to check the diagram of the updated fence layout. We’ll be adding a new fence between the audience area and the houses along Pleasant Point.

If you’re coming from the back end, simply follow the fence line around to the main entrance gate.

Thanks so much for your understanding and support — it helps our volunteers and keeps the event running smoothly 💛

See you on the 14th Feb, only 2.5 weeks to go!

Happy New Year to all. We had a very relaxed, quiet NYE. But the fireworks were amazing again.

Our January Summer Hours are up. Like last year, they are shorter hours, but we will go back to our normal hours once our builders start coming back to work.
