What about accessibility?

Not the greatest - Unfortunately the site is not the best for people with accessible needs such as wheelchairs or those with mobility aids - having said that - you can still access the ceremony dance site with relative ease - but will not be able to camp in the public camp areas. This is because Dupang is located on sandy ground.

There is limited accessibility camping available (Priority will be given to senior Elders)- we have reserved the Long Point camp grounds, which is close by to the festival site. This camp ground has accessibility toilets. If you have accessibility needs please reach out to Yarnin.Pangari@gmail.com

NO - While we are big animal lovers -- we ask that animals stay home to protect the wildlife of the Coorong. The only exemption to this is assistant dogs -- Please email yarnin.pangari@gmail.com to request this.
