TOWN SQUARE – Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga
Free, fun and perfect for families, TOWN SQUARE is the place to meet for a drink, stay for a meal and explore.
The festival hub – Town Square – will return once again to Victoria Square/Tarntanyangga offering free entry and new food vendors and bars to explore and discover. This year, you’ll find the new Journey Beyond Lounge, together with The Ghan Experience: the closest thing to onboard travel.
The water fountains are on in front of the Town Square pavilion so if you think your kids won’t be able to resist getting wet, take along a change of clothes and a towel.
