Where is the Bizarre Garden? How is is situated for camping – showers and access to water etc?
Bizarre Garden is 1.5 hours west of Byron Bay. This will remain a mystery until closer to the date.
There is adequate space and facilities for camping and there will be hot showers, drinking water, local food and clothing stalls, workshops, not to mention loads of fresh coconuts!
