Stuck in the mud with 70,000 people, stranded in the rain-sodden Nevada desert, toilets overflowing, no communications … we loved every muddy minute!
, toilets overflowing, no communications … what’s not to love about Burning Man, the world’s biggest music festival?
It was so wet, even Burning Man’s famed Orgy Dome – where thousands of people cavort each year, so long as they arrive in groups of two or more – was temporarily closed. Supposedly. But most of the 70,000 of us who came – the true burners – stayed to its glorious end. We saw the burning of the Man, the spectacular bonfire of the effigy that continues the spirit of the pioneers of Burning Man, which dates from the 1980s and 90s. People have come, year after year, in peace. They come for the music. They come in goodwill.And that is what we witnessed from Camp Bang Bang, a Burning Man gathering founded by Bondi locals and still frequented by Australians each year.
