Organizers of the Mundi Mundi Bash near Broken Hill opened the gates for free entry on the final day after weather improved.

Founder Greg Donovan said about 75 mm of rain fell over 11 days, a third of Broken Hill's annual average. Around 10,000 attendees showed up, compared to the expected 15,000.

Shane Croasdale, who has visited for 17 years, claims the removal of the block has forced guests to walk 200 meters at night and that fees have risen by at least 25%. The Sunshine Coast Council disputes the fee increase, saying it ranged from 4% to 20%, and cites maintenance issues as the reason for the block's removal.
