There is no phone reception in Mundiville. If you need emergency assistance — Medical, Fire, Police or Security — use CB Channel 5.
Use your car or handheld CB radio. Tune to Channel 5 and call "Control Room". CB5 is monitored 24/7 while patrons are on site.
Use the interactive map in the Bash App — it shows your exact grid location on the Mundiville campground, making it easy for emergency services to reach you quickly. You can also use nearby street signs or the number on your nearest toilet block.
The Control Room operator will direct you. They may ask you to put on your hazard lights or send someone to signal emergency services on arrival.
Stay where you are if it is safe to do so. Help will come to you. Don't drive unless instructed to by the Control Room.
Tune in to Bash FM throughout the event for live updates on weather conditions, fire restrictions, and important announcements from the Control Room.
Mundiville on the Mundi Mundi Plains is as big as many country towns. When we put together our emergency response team, we draw on years of experience working with emergency services at the remote Birdsville Big Red Bash and other events across remote and rural Australia.
Our medical team comprises doctors, nurses and first aiders with years of experience looking after people at remote events. We operate a well-equipped on-site medical centre, supported by on-site Paramedics from Ambulance NSW and the large hospital in Broken Hill.
A stand-by team of qualified firefighters (current and past) from professional and volunteer fire services. The team operates a dedicated fire truck — a large transport truck repurposed with 3,000 litres of water, a fire pump and full firefighting equipment. A nearby reservoir and additional tanker trucks provide backup water supply.
An experienced security team supported by NSW Police, brought in from Broken Hill and surrounding towns. The roads to the Bash during August are some of the most heavily patrolled Highway Patrol areas in the state — no place for speeding or DUI.
We work with experts from the surrounding district and our own professional crew to set up remote emergency services that are genuinely up to the task. Our team includes great relationships with local area health networks, ambulance services, hospitals and government agencies built up over many years.
The Bash has a great track record — the crowd is there to have fun and look after each other. Most of our involvement with police ends up being help with lost children, the occasional lost adult (!), and encouraging safe driving on the way home.
💡 Tip: Write the child's name and the parent/caregiver's name, CB radio channel and phone number on the back of your child's wristband — if they get lost, it makes reuniting them with you much faster.
There is no veterinary service on site at Mundiville. If your dog or other animal needs medical attention, you'll need to travel to Broken Hill where veterinary clinics operate.
🐾 Plan ahead if you're bringing a pet:
- Bring any required medication
- Ensure vaccinations are up to date
- Monitor your dog for heat, stress or noise sensitivity
- Be prepared to transport your animal to Broken Hill if needed
- For urgent situations, call Control Room on CB Channel 5 — they'll assist with coordinating a safe departure from site
Know your CB Channel 5, know your location, and enjoy an incredible weekend on the Mundi Mundi Plains.
