7Fire and safety

Campfires are welcome on the ground or in a firepit, as long as you keep them to a sensible size. No bonfires.

Firewood and ice aren't available yet. We'll share the details closer to the event. Collecting firewood on the surrounding private property is prohibited, and at the request of the local community please don't collect it between Broken Hill and Mundiville either.

  • Site your fire well clear of tents, vans, annexes and your neighbour's setup
  • Keep a bucket or jerry can of water beside your fire
  • Never smother a fire with dirt. It stays hot underneath long after it looks out
  • Ash can be left on the ground when you depart. Just take any rubbish with you
  • Chainsaws and other powered saws are prohibited
Never leave a campfire unattended. Put it out with water before bed or before you leave your campsite.

Out here, a fire can spread fast. A bit of prep before you leave home makes a real difference.

Before you leave home
  • Fit a smoke alarm near the sleeping area in your van, and test it before you go
  • Pack a fire extinguisher and a fire blanket, and keep them near the exit
  • Have a fire escape plan, and make sure everyone travelling with you knows it
  • Turn off any pilot lights before you set off
  • Check your gas pipes and connectors are in good order, and check them again after a long drive
  • Keep gas cylinders outside the van, secured, with valves facing away
At your campsite
  • Keep heaters clear of the internal fittings in your van
  • Never cook or smoke inside a tent
  • Never leave cooking unattended, and keep matches and lighters secured
  • Turn off lanterns before bed
If there's a fire
  • Call for help on CB Channel 5, or use any of the options in Need help on site below
  • Know where your nearest emergency evacuation point is. They are marked on the Festival Map
  • Tune your portable FM radio to Bash FM for updates on weather and any fire restrictions in force

More information is on the NSW Fire + Rescue website.

To stop a fire spreading, place all structures, generators and fires at least 1 metre from the marked back and side boundaries of your campsite. Guy ropes can protrude another 40cm. Marshals enforce this rule.

Camping as a group across joined campsites? The 1 metre rule applies to the outer boundaries of the combined site. Leave space between your cooking area and other structures inside the joined site too.

Fireworks are prohibited at Mundiville

Fireworks cause alarm and can send dogs bolting across the campground and into the outback. If you see someone setting up fireworks, tell an event official or volunteer straight away. Anyone found with or setting off fireworks will be evicted from the event.

Generators are welcome but can only run between 8am and 8pm. If you need to run medical equipment overnight, make sure it runs off a battery you can charge during the day.

Generators must also sit at least 1 metre from the back and side boundaries of your campsite. See Fire separation.

No smoking or vaping within 10 metres of the concert area, food vendors and kids play areas. Please keep and dispose of your own butts.

Never smoke inside a tent, and make sure butts are fully out before you dispose of them.

We strongly recommend bringing a head torch or similar to the concert so you can find your way back to camp. The concert and main plaza areas have lighting, but the general campsite and Day Parking areas do not.

8Waste and water

Leave the glass at home. Don't bring it, don't bin it.

Glass in rubbish bags can break and cut whoever has to collect them. One smashed bottle in the red dirt is also a real danger to our crew, our volunteers, fellow Bashers and their dogs, and it is almost impossible to find and clean up once it shatters.

  • There is no glass recycling on site
  • Do not put glass in any recycling or general rubbish bin
  • Do not leave glass behind at your campsite
  • Any glass found in the concert area is confiscated

The one exception is your camp kitchen, where glass items like oil and condiment jars are fine. Everything else, please leave it at home.

Help us keep this outback plain pristine. Remove extra packaging before you leave home.

Rubbish from your camp: you get one free Rubbish Sticker with each vehicle sticker, whether it arrives in the mail or you collect it at the Ticketing Office. Use it to drop one 80 litre bag of rubbish at one of three drop-off points along Rasp Avenue.

  • Put the sticker on your rubbish bag
  • Walk it (don't drive) to one of the three drop-off points along Rasp Avenue. See the Festival Map and check the Bash App for opening hours
  • A volunteer marshal will help you load it
  • Extra Rubbish Stickers are $10 each at the Merchandise Tent
No glass in your rubbish bags. It can break and cut whoever collects them. Don't bring it, don't bin it.
Take all extra campsite rubbish home with you. Concert area bins are for food vendor and concert rubbish only, so please don't dump camp rubbish in them.

Aluminium can and PET plastic recycling bins are in the Plaza, the Concert Area and the campground toilet blocks. Collect your cans and PET bottles, drop them in the recycling bins and help us run a sustainable event.

  • Pizza boxes: recycling is available in the Plaza Area
  • Bottle lids: we collect lids separately. Take them off your bottles and look for the lid collection points around Mundiville
  • Food waste: compost your scraps. Collect them at camp and drop them in the food waste bins outside the campground toilet blocks and in the Plaza Area
There is no glass recycling on site. See the Glass rule.

There is no greywater disposal facility at Mundiville. You can dispose of greywater on your own campsite in moderation.

  • Biodegradable detergents and soaps only. Collect all cooking oils and dispose of them responsibly
  • Greywater can be tipped on the ground at your site as long as it doesn't flow onto roads, pathways or other campsites
  • You can dig a small hole for greywater but must fill it in before you leave
  • Consider bringing extra greywater storage drums for disposal off site later
Strictly no blackwater disposal on site. This includes urine and sewage from caravan chamber pots.

No blackwater disposal anywhere on site

You must take ALL your blackwater home with you, including toilet cassettes and any poo or wee in buckets or containers. Do not put blackwater in the composting toilets and do not release it on the ground.

Staying at a caravan park in Broken Hill or beyond? You can use their dump points. There are also public dump points in Broken Hill. Please be mindful while queuing and don't block roads.

You'll find blocks of composting toilets and hand sanitiser in the campground and around the Plaza and Concert Area, looked after around the clock by our volunteer dunny angels.

Only poo, wee and toilet paper go in the toilets. Chemicals and inorganic matter disrupt the composting process. Use the bins provided for sanitary items.

Use the hand sanitiser before and after you use the facilities.

There are no showers at Mundiville. If you bring your own camp shower, follow the Greywater rule. No shower set up? Baby wipes are a great way to freshen up during the Bash.

There is no running water on site, so bring your own. Food vendors sell bottled water, but relying on that alone gets expensive. Top up in Broken Hill before you roll in.

4Getting around

The speed limit in Mundiville is 10km/h. Once you've rolled in and set up, the camp roads become walkways. Park up and don't move your car until roll out begins at 6am on Sunday 22 August.

Need to head out during the Bash? You can drive out during permitted times and leave your car in Day Parking until Saturday 21 August. See Camping at Mundiville and Rolling in and out for the detail.

Bikes, electric bikes, scooters and electric scooters are welcome at the Bash. An electric bike must have pedals. Unregistered motorbikes, petrol scooters and quad bikes are prohibited.

No riding in the Concert Area or the Plaza Area

For crowd safety, bikes, e-bikes and scooters must not be ridden in the Plaza. You can still push your bike through, and bike racks are on the outside of the concert area fence.

Across the rest of the site, a 10km/h speed limit (jogging pace) is strictly enforced. The one exception is the Mountain Bike Track, where the kids can go to satisfy their need for speed.

There is no public charging on site, so bring your own generator (permitted 8am to 8pm). Pack spare tyre tubes, because the prickles love to flatten a tyre.

Unregistered motorbikes, buggies and other vehicles are not permitted on site

The concert is on private land, and police and security will be in attendance.

Licensed drones and a helicopter operate during the festival. For safety reasons, no other aircraft or drones are allowed over the festival or the surrounding property.

3Camp life

Alcohol is welcome in cans, casks or plastic bottles. Not in glass.

It's a concert, not a booze up, so please drink responsibly. Anyone who is intoxicated and causing a nuisance will be removed from the venue.

Quiet time in the campground starts at 10:30pm. Quiet campfire chat is fine, but turn off the music. Respect one another and enjoy the desert.

Unauthorised sales of products or services in Mundiville are prohibited

This includes sales of ice, firewood, alcohol, internet or Mundi Mundi Bash branded merchandise.

No rule matches that search. Try another word, or get in touch.
