Sounds Outback is an outdoor music festival held on a working sheep station. Although there are no big hills, this is rough and rugged terrain that is both grassy and bumpy. Suitable footwear is recommended. Insect repellent and sunscreen are essential.
Pathways to each of the three stage venues of Sounds Outback are gravel roadways suitable for cars to access.
Tent Land, camping and parking areas are all within walking distance of the main festival area (Outback Hub) and the main stage (Shearing Shed). However, there is still quite a lot of distance between the campground and the various stages. Patrons will be invited to drive their vehicles to the 2 other festival venues, parking provided.
