Driving Instructions
Dam, I’m driving there!
If you are arriving by private vehicle make sure this is pre-approved by your hall/the committee. Ressies and Ex-Ressiwes must leave between 5 and 5:30 a.m. VIPS can leave by 7:00am. Leaving later than these times risks leaving you unable to attend EP. Not being pre-approved to come also risks you being not allowed to enter EP. This is as parking is limited.
Humes Crossing Campground is located just off the Snowy Mountains Hwy ~20km south of Tumut. The best way to get there is to take the Federal Hwy on the Hume Hwy, head south towards Gungagai, and then on the Snowy Mountains Hwy and south through Tumut. DO NOT travel via Brindabella Rd.
