Head to the Ballidu Tavern. Driving is easiest if coming from out of town. The drive from Perth to the town of Wongan Hills takes about two hours, with Ballidu a short 30-minute drive from there. The easiest way to get there is to take Tonkin Highway to the end at Muchea, then continue along Great Northern Highway to Bindoon. From there continue north for 29km, turn right towards Calingiri. In Calingiri follow the signs to Wongan Hills. Parking will be available in Ballidu Township.

Yes, on-course support will be available, including Pit Stops on the 161km ‘Wongan Thrills’ and 82km ‘The Ballidude’ rides.
