Registration and Payment Arrangements
Update 30 April 2014 Web site to book activities All activities AUD $431 Post 320
The Oz Fest team has based costs on a majority of people attending a majority of activities (based on know flights). This is particularly important where a bus will be hired. If not enough people sign up for the Friday, Saturday and/or Sunday tours, it may be necessary to ask pax for some more $$$. Due to commitments the Oz Fest team has made/will make to suppliers/vendors no refunds are possible, unless another person takes your place. The cost includes the fees (~2.75%) Oz Fest pay to the trybooking web site. There is a small additional fee paid by you when you book.

Any inquiries should be directed to OzFest at mail.com [not gmail] or PM Ozbeachabe.
Thanks to *A Flyer for assisting in setting up the trybooking site
