YONDERIA!

back on the beach

sat 6 february 2027 3pm saturday to 11am sunday cave beach · booderee national park

a dream with no fixed address

On the first weekend clear of the school holidays, Yonderia washes back up at Cave Beach. Pack the sequinned wetsuit. Practise dancing in the bejewelled flippers.

This year is the first family-friendly Yonderia. Music up at the campsite and a communal dinner, with a family camping area set up away from the noise. After dinner the stage moves down to the beach and runs until late.

what is yonderia

Yonderia is an ever-changing land. No: a state of mind. A figment of our joint imagination. It is a habitat of radical ideas, self-expression and inclusion, a place for beings of all genders, abilities and musical tribes; although sadly not pets. Consent and respect are essential.

Yonderia is the collaborative vision of all those who participate. Everyone is encouraged to bring a contribution to share: material, energetic, idyllic or otherwise. Contributions are as varied as they are delightful. Perhaps a game, a meal, a song, a friend, some dress-ups to share, energy for conversation, or for the dance floor.

where

Cave Beach campsite, Booderee National Park, on the lands of the Yuin people, where sovereignty was never ceded. Booderee is co-managed with the Wreck Bay Aboriginal Community, and your park pass purchased on your way in supports this.

  • Getting there. Cave Beach campground, inside Booderee National Park. Open the map.
  • The walk in. The campsite is 300 m from the carpark and everything has to be carried. Bring muscles or a wheelbarrow.
  • The beach. A short walk from the campsite, down stairs.
  • Facilities. Toilets, cold showers, fresh water, a sheltered gas barbecue area and wood barbecues.
  • Fires. Only in the fire pits provided. No open fires, no digging, pegs only.
  • Sites. Each marked site is 5 m × 5 m and tents have to be under 3 m × 4.5 m. Check your tent before you pack it.
  • Access. The site is not very mobility friendly. Get in touch if that's an issue for you and we'll work something out.

Park pass. Separate from your ticket, paid to the park. $20 per vehicle per day, $10 concession, or $80 for a year. Buy it online or at the entry station. prices checked Aug 2026 — confirm before you drive down

Extra nights. We hold the campsite for Saturday night only. Friday and Sunday are yours to book direct with Parks Australia. If your group is driving out on Sunday, sort your designated driver before Saturday, not on Sunday morning.

Kids. Kids are welcome. The campsite is family friendly until dinner, with Balearic tunes and a communal meal. After dinner the stage moves down to the beach and runs until late. The family camping area is a quiet zone, with no stage noise after dinner. Please book a free kids ticket for each child so we know how many are coming.

We'll keep things loud enough on the dancefloor, quiet enough for the neighbours and animals.
