History
In 2019 the festival launched a fundraiser campaign to support those affected by the 2018-2019 Australian bushfire season.[7] Later that year, organisers received site management related criticism amid extreme weather conditions during the event.[8] The festival's official website stated that the 2020 event won't take place between 28 Dec and 01 Jan 2021[9] and director Nicholas Greco has commented that it is being placed on hiatus caused by the COVID-19 pandemic. He has also admitted however, that the business has come to a "complete standstill" due to the circumstances.[11]
