Bringing your own bottle rather than a single-use bottle is the best choice you can make for the environment. You may wish to purchase a BYOB Water bottle at our official hospitality hub, Base Camp, located at Lot Fourteen. All proceeds from BYOB purchases go to Foodbank, helping provide meals to those in need in the community.
We have collaborated with SA Water to offer a free water refill station available at Base Camp.
You can also download the SA Water BYOB app for directions to more than 1,000 drinking fountains around South Australia.
