Activities will commence at 9:00 am and finish at 5:00pm on each day. A flyers fee of $15 ($8 for students) for a two day launch or $10 ($6 for Students) for a single day launch per flyer is payable to cover infrastructure and insurance costs.

Launch Location
Our Serpentine launch site is located approximately 43km from Bendigo along the Lodden Valley highway.
For those heading out of Melbourne, drive to Bendigo, and then our through Eaglehawk along the Lodden Valley highway (B260), after approximately 30 mins (if your keeping within the speed limit :-)) start looking for a bridge over "Bullock Creek" 3.5km from this bridge you will see a cluster of trees, and on your right you will see a gate, you can enter through this gate and drive to the launch site. Please approach the site slowly as we all don't want to be covered in dust, and there maybe cables across the road.
If you miss this entrance 6.5km from the creek you will see another entrance to your right, drive in through here and then right out along the track past the harvester shed, follow the road along the edge of the field until it makes a right hand turn, continue to follow this until your reach the intersection, where you will find our range head.
If you continue down the highway and your reach "Serpentine" you have gone too far!
