The historic Slacky Flat at Bulli will burst into party mode from 15-18th January 2009, when over 500 performers will converge for the 24th award-winning Illawarra Folk Festival.
The festival is nestled at the base of the Illawarra escarpment only 1 hour south of Sydney, so it is the perfect opportunity for Sydney-based travellers to visit via train and experience the true spirit of folk music, dance, poetry and storytelling. There is something for everyone from young to old with 11 venues to choose from. The Illawarra Folk Festival is family friendly and weatherproof.
So if you are coming to the Illawarra Folk Festival at Bulli on Saturday 17th January 2009 then there’s no better way than to join the Folk Music Train departing 9.40am from Central Station, Sydney.
A dedicated carriage will not only ensure you travel in comfort in the most eco friendly and safest way, but your festival will start when you step on the train. Musicians will entertain you on the trip to Bulli Station which is just five minutes walk to the Festival.
Not only that but you can have a drink on us when you get there - we’ll give you some Black Diamonds so you can have a drink at the bar or use them to help purchase Festival merchandise.
SEATS ARE LIMITED SO PLEASE LET US KNOW YOU’RE COMING.
To confirm that you are coming on the train and where you will be boarding call Brian on 02 9668 9051.

Of course, more often than not, you'll want to come home again. A return ticket (two trips) will take you where you want to go and back home again. Your return trip must be completed before 4.00am the next day.
Off-peak return tickets
If you're happy to leave after 9.00am (earlier in some outlying areas such as Katoomba), you can save up to 30 per cent with an Off-peak return ticket. You can also buy an Off-peak return ticket at any time on weekends and public holidays. Your return trip must be completed prior to 4.00am the next day. Please note one way Off-peak tickets are not available.
Child fares
A child is a person aged four years and over but under 16 years. Children pay no more than half the full adult fare. Infants under four travel free with an adult. Child off-peak fares for point to point travel are also available.
Pensioners & Seniors
These offer pensioners and senior citizens affordable and convenient transport at a low cost. They are available for people holding a Pensioner Concession Card or a NSW Seniors Card.
Family fares
The Family Fare deal has been created to make it extremely affordable for families to see Sydney by public transport. When at least one fare paying adult travels with their children or grandchildren, the first child travels for a child fare and the other children travel free.
