LOCATION

How do I get there?

Dragon Dreaming is held at Cooradigbee Homestead, 542 Caves Rd, Wee Jasper.  See www.dragondreaming.com.au/WeeJasper/Reserves for the site location, including other campsites in the Wee Jasper valley.

Can I swim in the lake?

Of course! The festival is held on the shore of Burrinjuck Dam and the waters are usually the perfect temperature for swimming in November. We'll have lifeguards stationed at the water's edge during daylight hours, and ask that you refrain from swimming after dark for your own safety. Children must be supervised in the water at all time.

Can I bring a campervan/caravan?

Yes but please follow the specific instructions of traffic wardens on site. Parts of the site are not suitable for heavy or towed vehicles, which could get bogged. Our staff know where access is best, so listen to their advice.

Can I bring my gas stove?

In the case of a total fire ban, gas cookers will not be permitted at the event unless professionally fitted to a campervan or part of a food stall. Keep an eye on the event page for updates closer to the event.

Nearest place to refuel/buy groceries

Yass is the closest town to grab some cash, supplies and petrol.

Do the gates close overnight?

Yes. To reduce the risks of driver's fatigue, this year we'll be closing our gates overnight each night. Please plan ahead so that you arrive during gate open times and are able to make it into the event. Gate open and close times are as follows:

  • Friday: gates open midday and close 3am Saturday morning
  • Saturday: gates open 8am and close at midnight
  • Sunday: gates open 10am and close 10pm

WHAT TO BRING

Can I bring my dog?

We know you love your pet too much to place it in a confusing and scary environment with loud noises, flashing lights and too many people so we won’t take that question seriously. If you’re stuck, there are kennels for your pooch in Yass.

Can I bring my own soundsystem?

We’re going to stick up for your sleepy neighbours and say no. Nobody wants to hear your track selection at a festival unless you were booked to play on a stage.

Can I bring alcohol?

Dragon Dreaming is a BYO event and no alcohol can be purchased on site. We strongly encourage all patrons to be responsible with the consumption of alcohol and warn that drunkenness is not considered a defense under our ‘no dickheads’ policy.

Can I bring my own generator?

No. Generators are both a fire hazard and make you an obnoxious neighbor. Those people next to you REALLY do not want to be woken by the noise or exhaust fumes in their tent. Any generators found on site will be confiscated and kept in a secure location awaiting collection as you exit the festival.

What should I bring?

Food and drink (they will be available on site but you may want to bring some snacks and your favourite beverage). Adequate shelter- not only your tent but don’t forget a tarp or marquee to sit under with your mates. Hat and sunblock. Your best attitude. Clothing for all weather. Money- there are no ATMs on site Tent, sleeping gear and communal shelter. Torch, batteries. Don’t forget your eski and toothbrush! FABULOUS COSTUMES! Reusable water bottle/container. Butt bin if you are a smoker.

FACILITIES

Is there drinking water on site?

There will be plenty of drinking water available on site for free so please bring your reusable water bottle.

Will there be showers?

There are no showers on site. While there is a refreshing lake for swimming, we ask patrons not use any detergent or washing products in the water to get clean.

Is there mobile reception?

Tune in and drop out, they say, and we agree. You will be unable to check your Instagram, Facebook or Tinder while at Dragon. Did that cute guy/girl you stalked for weeks text back after you finally had the courage to reach out yesterday? Who knows? Live in the now and with the fact you won’t be checking your phone for a few days. Dragon staff will have access to communications for emergencies. Please do not hesitate to reach out to a crew member if required.
