The festival is about an hour and a half drive from Brisbane, or 40 minutes from Caloundra.

Drive along the Bruce Highway from Brisbane. Turn left through Caboolture along the D’Aguilar Highway to Woodford. Turn right towards Beerwah 1 kilometre after Woodford, travel almost 2 kilometres, then turn left into Woodrow Road. - Driving from North
Turn off the Bruce Highway just past the Caloundra turn-off to Landsborough. Travel to Beerwah, cross the railway line. Turn right, then left onto the Beerwah Road. Drive through Peachester and keep heading down towards Woodford/Kilcoy. Turn right into Woodrow Road 2 kilometres before the road joins the D’Aguilar Highway.
