Spectator Information

Spectating at a Wyaralong regatta is a full day out at a remote venue, so a little preparation makes for a much better day. Here is what you need to know before you come.

What should you bring?

Camp chair
Hat
Sunscreen
Water bottle
Warm layer
Walking shoes
Cash or card for snacks
Race program

Most of the people running the regatta are volunteers, so please be patient and bring a relaxed attitude.

Getting there and parking

Parking is prepaid. Buy your ticket online before the regatta using the link on the BSRA home page each week. Car parks P2, P3 and P4 are park and walk to the spectator and competitor headlands. Car parks P5, P6 and P7 use the shuttle.

Your school supporters will set up a tent on the spectator headland. Use the venue page maps to see where it is located.

The shuttle is included in your parking ticket, at no extra charge, at both the lead-up regattas and Head of the River.

It runs every 15 minutes on the quarter hour from Meebun Ring Road. The first race is at 8:00am and the last race is at approximately 1:30pm, with the last shuttle at 2:00pm. Please do not expect the shuttle to run later than this, as the buses are returning athletes to Brisbane and Gold Coast schools and cannot be delayed.

Please keep Meebun Ring Road clear at all times, as parked cars there will block the shuttle buses.

Disabled access: special arrangements must be made in advance. Please email matt@bsra.org.au before the regatta.

Programs and race times

Programs are digital and available at bsra.org.au. Check the program for your school’s race times before you leave home, and again when you arrive. Scratchings and substitutions can happen on the day, so a printed copy may not show the latest changes. If you prefer a hard copy, print it the night before.

Get involved

If you would like to get involved, the Regatta page lists options for volunteer boat drivers and Boat Race Official accreditation.

Have a great day, and thank you for coming.
