TRANSPORT:

From the CBD:Take Tram #12 that is heading to St Kilda via Collins St. The tram travels west along Collins St, heads south along Spencer St and then into Clarendon St. Get off the tram at Stop 130 (corner of Clarendon St & Albert Rd), walk across the road and the event village is at Palms Lawn, directly ahead of you and to the left, near The Point restaurant.

From St.Kilda: Take Tram #96 towards Brunswick. Get off the tram at Stop 129 (Melbourne Sports and Aquatic Centre/Wright St). Head east towards Albert Park Lake and the event village is at Palms Lawn beside the lake. Albert Park is outside the Free Tram Zone so you will need to buy a Myki card, available at any 7-Eleven store or train station. Please go to Public Transport Victoria for full timetable details.

On Bike:Bicycle parking will be available at the event. Please bring a lock as we cannot accept responsibility for bikes lost or stolen.

On Foot:Enter Albert Park via any of the gates around the park and follow the path to Palms Lawn. The gate on Albert Rd, opposite Clarendon St is the closest to the CBD.
