Transport and Venue Details

You will need to indicate how your RYLArian will join the RYLA program using the logistics form.

Complete the logistics form

Please aim to arrive early so not to miss the bus or train departure. It also allows the RYLArians to get to know each other.

NOTE: there has been significant changes to transport arrangements from previous years – please read this information carefully.

No cars of RYLArians are allowed on site for any reason, so it is necessary for the sponsoring club to nominate the appropriate stop/station to which the RYLArian will be taken.

Venue

Doxa Youth Foundation Malmsbury Camp

1000 Vaughan Springs Road, Drummond North VIC 3446

All RYLArains must be dropped off at a bus stop and not on site. No cars of RYLArians are allowed on site for any reason. RYLA begins on the bus.

RYLArian pick-up is from 3pm, for afternoon tea and presentations. Expect to be on site with the RYLArians for at least 1 hour. Please do not arrive before 3pm. We will not be ready to welcome Rotarians before that time as the RYLA program will still be in progress.

The venue is signed at the entrance and on route (look for the blue Doxa road signs). Keep an eye out for the big orange suspended ball as you head over the Loddon River and up the hill on Vaughan Springs Road. Note that Google Maps and other GPS systems are not too accurate in this area, so keep your eyes open!
