Parking:                  

There is limited free parking along the gravel road that goes from Arcadia Rd and up to the Netherby homestead. The gate will be dummy locked and can then be left open for the afternoon. You will need a parking permit displayed on the dash of your vehicle which can be obtained from Tanya on the day. Please ensure the following;

• You are not allowed to drive beyond the sheds or into the park
• Keep to 10km/hr or less and look out for people as you drive in. There are usually many visitors including families with young children who may not expect to see a vehicle around the Netherby homestead.

Other parking options include free street parking or $5 parking in the main parking.
