About FAQs
At Bullanginya Dreaming, visitors embark on a serene journey along a meandering trail nestled amidst the bushland bordering Bullanginya Lagoon, illuminated by enchanting artistic lighting designs. Along this captivating path, they encounter towering lighting sculptures, vibrant light displays, and an immersive soundscape that enhances the experience.
The trail commences and concludes at the edge of Cobram Barooga Golf Club’s West Course, inaccessible by foot or vehicle. As part of the admission package, guests are chauffeured via bus to the starting point and conveniently picked up from the endpoint. The buses depart from the Golf Entertainment Precinct near the Sporties Barooga Venue. To ensure a seamless experience, ticket times are staggered, allowing groups to leisurely explore the trail in the company of family and friends.
Operating dates for the Luna Light Journey are scheduled every Friday and Saturday night, with additional availability during school holiday periods. Moreover, there may be added operating days during NSW and Victoria Long Weekends. As the Luna Light Journey aligns its hours with the sunset, operating times vary throughout the year.
To see Operating Days head to the bottom of our About Page.
Tickets for the event are timed in 30-minute intervals from the starting time. Since transport by bus is necessary to access Bullanginya Dreaming’s entry, buses will be staggered over the initial 20 minutes of each session. It is essential to be ready and waiting at the designated pickup time within your allocated 30-minute transport window. While multiple buses will be in operation, one will prioritize families with strollers or prams. Late arrivals risk missing their bus, and depending on the next session’s bookings, may not be accommodated.
The trail’s last entry occurs 20 minutes after the final advertised timeslot, with the event concluding 90 minutes thereafter. On each event day, the Bullanginya walking track closes two hours prior to the first session and reopens for Bullanginya Dreaming audiences at the advertised session time. Daytime visitors must vacate the track two hours before the evening’s first session to ensure exclusive access for Luna Light Journey ticket holders.
