    • Hi Susy,

      Looking at the official website, all that it mentions is that “free car parking can be found in the surrounding streets”.

      So based on that, it doesn’t sound like there is an official car park and you will just need to play it by eye on the day.

      It states that “ground entry is via the Stawell Athletic Club or via the entry gates on Main and Victoria streets”, so perhaps use that as a guide of where to aim near.

      Thanks
      Michael
