Labour Day Long Weekend – ChillOut Camping

** This event is booked out for SATURDAY evening. If you only wish to camp on Friday or Sunday, please email LeaderAlanD.thenomadsinc@mail.tidyhq.com **

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.  

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, which is regional Australia’s largest LGBTQI 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 Community Saturday Morning Walk
• Saturday 2:30pm: The Nomads Mixed Naturist Bushwalk and Swim
• Saturday evening: BYO BBQ at the Jubilee Lake Park, and/or many events around town
• Sunday: the ChillOut Festival Pride Parade will be a virtual event this year, and the Carnival won't proceed. Instead, we'll head to the Picnic Day and Dog Show at the Hepburn Pavilion (held between 11am and 4pm). We'll probably organise a group booking in a pub or cafe for dinner on Sunday night.
• Monday 10:30am: The Nomads Bushwalking around Hepburn Springs.

The free shuttle bus will NOT be operating this year. Daylesford has quite a good taxi service (03 5348 1111) but no Ubers.

BOOKING: by Tuesday 2nd March or ASAP. Click on Get Tickets to register for the camping - you will be asked to nominate the nights on which you wish to camp. Do not book your accommodation directly with the holiday park! You need to register separately for any events (see above) you wish to attend. 
Note for non-members: the ChillOut weekend consists of a number of events. If you take out a 1 month temporary membership (cost $8) prior to booking any events, you don't need to pay the $5 visitor fee for each individual event. Once you have taken out your membership, select Get Tickets within each event you wish to attend then choose the member ticket option.
