SF BUS

THANK YOU in advance for considering our sustainable transport option! Not only are you helping the environment but you are creating safer roads and less stress for yourself.

Why should I take the SF Bus?

  • IT'S CHEAP - Fuel prices have skyrocketed for drivers and tickets are as low as $56 + booking fee one way.

  • IT'S RESPONSIBLE - forget risking your license. A criminal conviction for drink or drug driving can ruin your life. Let someone else drive you home!

  • IT'S GREEN - taking the bus produces 10X less carbon emissions than bringing your own vehicle. Do the right thing for the environment!

  • IT'S HASSLE FREE - your ticket will be checked in Melbourne/Sydney and you will be wristbanded before you get on the bus. That means no waiting in pesky lines at the gate and straight through to your campsite!

  • IT’s FUN - Make a whole set of new friends before you even arrive at the festival. You can choose to camp together close to all the action in the SF Bus camping area and start enjoying your Strawberry experience as soon as you arrive.

Below you will find all the info you need to make your travel to and from the festival as smooth as possible based on your selected pick up location.

DEPARTURE INFORMATION

  • Please print your outbound/inbound bus tickets AND your Festival Ticket and bring them with you.

  • Bring your ID and Festival Ticket as we will cross-check your name at the departure spot and put on your official wristband before you enter the bus.

  • Place a name tag on your luggage to make it easy to identify when getting off the bus.

  • Arrive 30 minutes before your departure time to allow for Ticket checks, wristbanding, and the bus to leave on time.

  • Look out for the SF Bus team in florescent yellow vests.

  • If you miss the bus, you miss the bus! Unfortunately, the bus can’t wait and we don’t give refunds if you don’t show up. Buses are often sold out so we can’t offer you a spot on the next bus.

  • Seating is not allocated and will be available on a first come, first served basis, so get in early!

  • The bus will stop for planned bathroom breaks.

  • Forgot some essentials? Head to the SF Info Tent, Wallaroo Camping rentals or hop the SF Shuttle in to Tocumwal Town where they have a bottle shop, IGA, chemist ATM and more.

  • Please pack as light and practical as you can. There will be only enough room for one large suitcase and one standard backpack OR the equivalent amount of luggage per person on the bus. We understand you may need to bring camping gear, but please do your best to pack smart and light. Consider Pre-pitched Camping or Glamping, Camping Rentals or packing together as a group if travelling with friends. If it doesn’t fit on the bus it will be left behind. NO Gazebos will be allowed as luggage on the bus.

  • The alcohol limit for each passenger taking the bus is 2x six packs (12 cans of beer, cider or premixed) OR a 2L cask of wine. Any alcohol in excess of this limit will be confiscated and not returned. STRICTLY NO GLASS!

  • Respect your fellow bus mates and driver by behaving on the bus! You have plenty of time to party when you reach the Festival. Alcohol is not allowed to be consumed on the bus.

  • Download the Setline the SF festival app before attending the event to access interactive map, set times and more.


    RETURN TRIP

  • We know you will have had an amazing weekend and it’ll be sad to say goodbye, but please don’t miss your bus home!

  • Print your bus ticket for the way back as we don’t have printers and you may not have reception on site.

  • Arrive at the SF Bus stop 20 minutes before your departure time so that we can load your luggage and get your tickets processed. Hangover or not, we can not wait for you! We are always fully booked!!!

  • Please go to the Info Tent if you have any questions about your departure or if you want to buy tickets. Please note these are VERY limited and based on available capacity.

  • Seats are not allocated. If we can get you onto an earlier bus we will.

  • Buses will stop for planned toilet breaks.

  • If you have further travel plans beyond taking the bus, leave plenty of time for unexpected delays including traffic.

    Tickets are non-refundable as per the terms & conditions unless you have XCover and we can’t offer changes to your booking.
