Terminology Used On This Site
Categories: Events have been put into categories that generally reflect what they about, but it may happen that an event can be covered by several categories, such as musical acts, entertainment, games, parades, stalls etc. Cultural Festivals are events that encompass street parades, entertainment, stalls, etc. Special Events can include car and machinery displays, demonstrations, workshops, competitions etc.
Cost: The cost listed is the minimum entry fee for one adult entry for that event. (The minimum amount mentioned may only be a day entry fee for one day of a weekly event costing hundreds of dollars).
Free + indicates that at those events some venues are free to attend, but some venues are ticketed.
Age Suitability: This is a guide only. Even though most of the events are classified for All ages, some events are only suitable for Adults (mainly for the consumption of alcohol), and some are really only suitable for the 18-35 age group where crowds and noise may be a factor. Some events are legally restricted to 18+.
Camping: The range of camping can be quite diverse, from tents to large RVs, so check with the event’s website to see what is available.
CampPets indicates that pets are allowed at the camping areas but not at the event venues.
Alcohol: The majority of events have licensed areas, so no alcohol can be brought in. Some are totally alcohol free and some do allow you to bring your own alcohol (BYO). Noted where possible.
Frequency, Mobile coverage, Pets: – self explanatory.
