Water Taxi replaced by VIP Shuttle Bus at Rockynats 06
Published on 05 March 2026
Following recent flood impacts on the Fitzroy River, extensive repairs are now required to the boat ramp and new safety requirements have come into effect. As a result, the VIP Water Taxi service will not be operating at Rockynats this year.
But good news! Platinum ticketholders, Sponsors, Entrants and Buddies will enjoy a free, dedicated VIP Shuttle bus, running continuously between the CBD and the Burnout Precinct.
You can hop on the VIP Shuttle from:
- 171 Bolsover Street in the city centre, or
- The Burnout Precinct transport hub on Reaney Street, just a short walk from the entry gate.
VIP Shuttle operating times:
- Saturday 18 April: 9:00am – 4:30pm
- Sunday 19 April: 9:30am – 4:00pm
This service is exclusive to VIPs and is designed to keep your RN06 weekend smooth, simple, and stress‑free.
