This area will be manned by volunteers to provide guidance.

Once passengers are off-loaded, ALL cars should then proceed approximately 100metres to Idolwood Ridge, on the left, where you will be able to park your car for the day. Volunteers will also be in this area to provide guidance on where you can and cannot park.
