Day Tripping.
You do not have to camp at Mundiville to enjoy the Bash. Stay in Broken Hill and come in each day, by car or by bus.
Stay in town, come to the Bash.
Not into camping? No worries. Stay in Broken Hill, drive out to the Mundi Mundi Plains each day (or hop on the transfer bus) and head home to a proper bed.
Day trippers have dedicated parking on site. You will still need a General Admission ticket, and all the same Mundiville Camp Rules apply.
Three steps to a day at the Bash.
Driving in as a day tripper.
Self drive day trippers can park from Wednesday 18 to Saturday 21 August. Plan to head back before dark if you can. Outback roads after sunset mean active wildlife, and kangaroos are most active around dusk and dawn.
Heading back after the show? Read up on safe outback driving first, or take the transfer bus and let someone else do the driving.
Buses and shuttles.
Book your bed early.
Broken Hill gets busy during the Bash and rooms go fast, so sort your stay well in advance. See the accommodation options.
If town is booked out, the Racecourse overflow camping is the official backup.
