Amidst the news of the devastating bushfires burning in Victoria’s Gippsland region, our mission is to raise the much needed funding for the local community in support for those affected to assist with disaster relief and rebuilding.

The major front burning east of Melbourne in Bunyip State Park threatens our home community of Beyond The Valley. Many residents have already been evacuated to the immediate danger with areas such as Bunyip, Tonimbuk, Garfield, Tynong and Nar Nar Goon directly affected by the blaze.



Since Friday, the fire burning in Bunyip State Park has burned 11,000 hectares and destroyed several homes in Bunyip and Garfield North area.

An additional fire burning in Yinnear South  also threatens communities in the region. At least five buildings, including homes, have been destroyed by separate bushfires at Bunyip and Yinnar North and evacuees have told the they expect more houses will be lost.



The team behind Beyond The Valley has donated $5,000 to the efforts and we encourage all past and future participants of our festival to make a donation to the appeal.
