Leave The Car At Home - Urban

If you live at Woodford, D’Aguilar or Wamuran, you can catch the bus to all the fun and excitement of this year’s Urban Country Music Festival in Caboolture.


Moreton Bay Regional Council Mayor Allan Sutherland said Kangaroo Bus Lines was running a free shuttle service between Woodford and the festival on Saturday April 30 and Sunday May 1.

“Whether you’re thinking about spending a day at the festival or coming to one of our special concerts, there’s a bus leaving Woodford Community Hall at 9am and another at 4pm,” Mayor Sutherland said.

“Both buses will make stops at the bus shelter opposite the D’Aguilar Hotel and the bus shelter opposite the Wamuran school on their way to the Caboolture Historical Village.”

“To return home, you’ll be able to catch the shuttle at 2.30pm or after the concerts finish at 11.15pm.”
