Can't help but compare this to the fiasco of Fyre Festival back in 2017 ... the opposite in just about every way!!!! Another Aussie making us proud!!!!!
Yes, nothing like Fyre Festival and yet everything like it was supposed to be! That concert ended up being an insult to the entire music industry. There used to be a documentary on Netflix about that fiasco, was certainly interesting to say the least! This Aussie guy def got it right!
Interesting that it wasn't mentioned that they're not just doing the Birdsville Big Red Bash anymore, they've expanded and started doing the Broken Hill Mundi Mundi Bash as well - which is a little more accessible for many people that can't make it to the Big Red.
@@theStevenPowell I'll rephrase. They're not ONLY doing the big red bash anymore, they've expanded... there's now two of them. The big red, and the mundi mundi.
What an inspirational story ,,fantastic stuff,,what spirit and perseverance ,,well done to you,,it gives people hope to never give up in life and to follow your instincts,,they say follow your gut feeling and you did,,,,,,cheers my friend
Black Rock Desert is 100 miles from Reno, a city of about 300,000 people and a major tourist destination with intense transport infrastructure, in a state of well over 3 million in a country of well over 330 million!! Birdsville is 450 miles from Mt Isa, a town of about 19,000 people or 1000 miles from Brisbane, a city of 2.6 million, in a country of almost 26 million people! So your "proven business plan" sarcasm does seem kinda ignorant!!
@@bev9708 I've seen Burning Man leave a lot of garbage behind when they're done...I don't believe that's happening at this Festival or the Indigenous man who owns it would shut it down.
@@bev9708 Reno has a lot of stuff going on, in a state with a lot of stuff going on, in a country with a lot of stuff going on. Australia is pretty quiet so, despite your ignorance of how competition works, there's a large population of people who don't have many alternative outlets to draw on.

Well done, what a big set of dusters, putting his redundancy money on the line to pursue a dream.
Obviously had a lot of money to do it.
Oh look: Burning Man. Who'd have thought that doing what Burning Man had been doing since 1991 would be a proven business plan?
