- List for the bus will be updated here closer to race weekend.
Bus pick-up locations
Visitors from out of town can be picked up at the Cairns City Bus Station, Platform #2 on Lake Street in Cairns 15 minutes prior to the Bus pickup locations mentioned below. You will be responsible for organising your own way back home at the end of each day. This normally works out with other competitors and volunteers helping out, so don’t book any taxis/ubers just yet.
