Labour Day Long Weekend – ChillOut Camping

We’ll use the Jubilee Lake Holiday Park as our base for a relaxed weekend doing some walks in the Daylesford region whilst also participating in ChillOut Festival.
** Saturday night is booked out: email LeaderAlanD.thenomadsinc@mail.tidyhq.com if you would like to be put on a waitlist for Saturday night ** 

GRADE: Social - this is a base camp for participating in events during the ChillOut Festival.

ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION: 
There are many events you can attend as part of ChillOut Festival, and the Nomads have also organised a number of walks to coincide with it. The Jubilee Lake Holiday Park is a great base for your ChillOut long weekend. This park is a little out of the centre of Daylesford, but much nicer and less crowded than the caravan park beside the ChillOut Carnival site.

Some activities to consider attending include:

• Saturday 10:15am: The Nomads ChillOut Saturday Morning Community Walk.
• Saturday 2:30pm: The Nomads Daylesford Naturist Walk during ChillOut.
• Saturday evening: BYO BBQ at the Jubilee Lake Park, and/or many events around town.
• Sunday: Attend the ChillOut Festival Street Parade and Carnivale. 
• Sunday evening: We'll once again organise an evening meal at the Spice of India Restaurant, within easy walking distance of the Jubilee Lake Holiday Park.
• Monday 10:30am: The Nomads Hepburn Springs to Daylesford Circuit Walk.

The shuttle bus will be operating again this year, running every 40 minutes between Jubilee Lake, central Daylesford and Hepburn Springs, though it’s no longer free - a weekend bus pass costs $20. Daylesford has quite a good taxi service (03 5348 1111) but no Ubers.

BOOKING: by Tuesday 8th March or ASAP. Click on Get Tickets to get a ticket for each night you wish to camp.

• Visitors who wish to attend any of the other Nomads events over the weekend, are advised to take out a 1 month temporary membership (cost $8) prior to making any bookings. You can then book free member tickets for the events you want to attend (though the camping fee remains the same: $15 per person per night).
• Everybody (Members and Visitors): Don't forget to also register for any other events you wish to attend.
