Monogorilby Camp Oven Variety Muster

Today is the third (and final) day of the three-day Monogorilby Camp Oven Variety Muster, which is held in the grounds of Monogorilby Hall north-west of Boondooma and Allies Creek. This annual event is a fundraiser for RACQ Lifeflight - who provide an essential service in this remote part of the world - and guests will be treated to Aussie bush poetry, ballads, music and comedy over the course of the next few days, along with great camp oven food. There's also free camping in the grounds (toilets, no showers), but if you want to enjoy the entertainment you'll need to buy a ticket. Because it's so remote, you'll also need to bring your own supplies plus cash if you're attending since there's no EFTPOS, mobile reception is flaky at best and Mono is a long way from anywhere. However, if you're looking to really get away from the everyday, this event should be a lot of fun! You can find out more on the Muster's Facebook page.
