Camping is indeed moving further away from the main festival, and the festival itself is moving further away from the Flemington Road gates into Exhibition Park. It's a bit of a bummer really - if one wants to go back to one's campsite for some reason it's a much longer hike, which means time away from the festival!

One of the organisers told us (at volunteer orientation a couple of years ago) that they pray for good weather as the festival makes more money from the day trippers than from the season ticket holders/campers.    But if it becomes too inconvenient for campers they will stop coming.

And after all.....how big does it need to be?
