Thanks for the replies and keep them running if you got an idea or a plan for 
us. 
 
We would like to stay close to town to be able to just go walk around and dont 
spend to much time in the car. We will keep looking, Airbnb has some good 
offers and the Melvill campgroud is still an option so we have more money in 
our pockets to spend at the show and eating out. It's nice to know that there 
will be some parking and shuttle buses, i will try to learn more about the 
location of those.
 
I have to confess that my absolute best would be to be able to stay / camp on a 
boat at a dock close by. Any idea if a lister or other poeple would be willing 
to rent their boat for few nights. That could be more boat bucks in your 
Pocket, i dont know what to offer but something  like around 250$ plus a bottle 
of something good to start talking (17-20 sept)! We are not looking for luxury, 
and asking no more than just a place to sleep with our sleeping bags. Obviously 
would leave the place as we found it (leave no trace!)
 
But i kind of understand that most boats seem to be on a mooring and less 
accessible for us.
 
thanks for the help.
