Since the first Bush Bash in November 2020, Bitcoiners from all across Australia, as well as some international visitors, have been gathering three, and more recently four times a year, in country towns, to share their passion for Bitcoin and related interests with others, not only in the vibrant Aussie Bitcoin community, but with anyone else keen to find out more about it. Nothing beats hanging out with your fellow Bitcoiners in person, especially in a pleasant rural setting, and these events have grown, now drawing well over 100 people across 2 1/2 days of high-signal presentations and social activity.
As this will be the NSW event, our fifth in fact, Bitcoin Sydney has organised what is sure to be, in the words of one of the Bush Bash's founding organisers @hodoloncomrades, "a ripper of a Bitcoiner's Weekend".
Parkes is within one day's drive of all the Eastern capitals and Adelaide. There are many motels and accommodation options in Parkes.
If you are bringing family or wish to extend your trip, there are several attractions within a 90-minute drive including the Dubbo Western Plains Zoo, Wellington Caves, and of course the famous Parkes Radio Telescope.
Please note, this is a Bitcoin ONLY event. There will be no discussion of "cryptocurrencies" as a broad category.
