Man dies at Queensland ‘bush doof’ as police probe death, festival shut down

A man has died and another is under police guard after a “bush doof” on a Queensland property descended into chaos. Emergency crews were called to Hidden Camp — an off‑grid farmstay at Glenwood between Maryborough and Gympie — about 1.20am on Saturday after reports of a serious altercation during a late‑night rave. Police allege a fight broke out on stage before a 40‑year‑old Kallangur man fell up to two metres and died at the scene. A 33‑year‑old Burpengary man, who was also injured, was taken to Gympie Hospital and placed under police guard. He was in a stable condition. The property had publicly claimed it would be “closed” for a weekend of “R & R”, but drone images showed a sprawling neon‑lit crowd of hundreds at a two‑day festival called Rhythm of the Wild.
