Tips & Advice

  • Arrive before the children's activities start, so it's easier to find a park and pick a good spot on the lawn.
  • Bring a picnic rug or low-backed chair, because the audience sits on the grass for the evening of carols.
  • Pack a light jacket or blanket for after sunset, because Mount Gambier's December weather can change quickly, even after a warm day.
  • Bring battery-operated candles or glow sticks rather than open flames, which are safer in a crowded family audience.
  • Pack sun protection and insect repellent, because you'll be outdoors from the afternoon into the evening.

Frequently Asked Questions

What should I bring?

Most people sit on the grass, so bring a picnic rug or low-backed chair. Also pack warm clothing, sun protection, insect repellent, drinking water, and battery-operated candles or glow sticks.

Is there food?

Yes. Food vendors open two hours before the main carols program. You can also bring a picnic, but final conditions on food, drinks and glassware are still to be published.

Are there activities for children?

Yes. Children's activities start two hours before the carols, so families can explore the precinct first.

Where should I park?

There's parking all through central Mount Gambier, but spaces near the Railway Lands fill quickly. Get there before the children's activities start, and follow any temporary parking restrictions.

Is the site accessible for wheelchairs and prams?

Sealed paths run through parts of the Railway Lands, but most of the audience area is grass. Keep that in mind if you're using a wheelchair, mobility aid or pram.
