VENUE

Point Nepean’s Quarantine Station, Portsea has established itself as one of Australia’s premier must see destinations.

The PNQS has been an integral part of the Australian way of life since the early 1800’s when it functioned as grazing land and as a hub for the mortar trade, positioned strategically as it was at the heads of Port Phillip Bay. It played an integral role throughout two world wars as it did in more recent times as a haven for Kosovo refugees. It is steeped in rich and profound history.

The Hot Barbeque, Having previously resided at Melbourne’s Birrarung Marr and Sidney Myer Music Bowl respectively, moves to its biggest and most amazing location to date: the picturesque Point Nepean Quarantine Station in Portsea, managed by Parks Victoria.

Offering spectacular sweeping ocean views, the Point Nepean Quarantine Station promises to provide the perfect location and ultimate scenic setting for what has fast become one of the nation’s premier open-air musical and cultural events.

PLEASE NOTE: The Point Nepean National Park & Quarantine Station will remain open as per usual operating times (9am-6pm), as the festival is predominantly stationed to Jarman Oval & Burgess Park.
