Well - we're back safe and sound after an incredibly interesting Muster this year.
This year was my first visit to the Muster, and it was definitely memorable, with record levels of rainfall, mud up to our eyeballs and roads cut off due to flooding.
We arrived on Wednesday to do the show at the Muster Club - fantastic audience and vibe, but LOTS of mud (or so I thought).
On Thursday, we went and bought gum boots before leaving for Amamoor Creek State Forest Park, so we were a little more prepared. It was raining, but everyone was in good spirits and having fun.
On Friday, we went scouting for raincoats before leaving for the Muster! We made it as far as Amamoor (a little village on the edge of the Forest) and there we sat for hours waiting for the OK from the police that we could get through. At some points, there was apparently 0.8m water over the roads, so they were blocked for 4 wheel drives too. The Muster had organised for a 4 wheel drive bus to come out from Fraser Island, however the roads were also closed north and south of Gympie, so instead of arriving by 3:30 in the afternoon, the bus didn't turn up until around 5:30, by which time I had already missed my show. What a bummer! Apparently the bus made continual trips in and out of the Forest, taking musos in and out and finally breaking down around 4am the next morning.
As I write this, I'm still not sure where all members of my band ended up!
They say everyone has an interesting Gympie Muster story, and I have a feeling this will be mine - just can't see how we can top this experience!
