Record numbers of music lovers and happy campers have returned from the Big Red Bash music festival in outback Queensland this weekend, despite COVID-19 restrictions locking some people out of the state.

A record breaking ten thousand attendees have ventured to the festival outside Birdsville which was armed with a government approved COVID-Safe plan.

Event organiser, Greg Donovan said, “It’s been a huge challenge, but we’ve worked through so many issues and just managed to move on.” 

The Big Red Bash festival has been described as a once in a lifetime event with many saying the event is “bucket list” material.
