Whether it was celebrating birthdays, catching up with friends from afar or just getting to groove to their favourite bands visitors flooded in for the 2025 edition of the NT's biggest music festival.
BASSINTHEGRASS took over Mindil Beach for its 22nd year and once again was the talk of the town with premier acts bringing music fans in from across the Territory and beyond.
Toby Henderson and Sally Race-Rogers were at their fourth BASSINTHEGRASS and for them it had become a must do event.
'I absolutely love BASS, it has great vibes, great family atmosphere and great gigs that have been showing up here year after year,' Mr Henderson said.
'It's absolutely awesome and to have this in the Territory for people to come to from all over and just get amongst it, so many people are coming from all over.'
Jasmine Gerry had come up from Victoria to catch up with her best friend Sumara Gugich, with the occasion in a warmer climate giving her the opportunity to wear some lighter colours.
'It's great hot summer vibes, and being from Victoria it's a pretty perfect chance to wear pink lace at a festival,' she said.
'I'm so excited, I'm a pretty big fan of the Rions and the Dreggs and having flown up to see my bestie to get to see them too is great.'
Monique Stephens and Tianne Rothwell were another pair of besties getting into the groove of it all at their second BASS outing.
'I'm very excited to be here with my bestie especially,' Ms Stephens said.
'My first time was in 2022 so to see the different layout is great, I love the different set up and I'm happy to be here.' BASSINTHEGRASS 2025 - GALLERY

Prince William, Kate Middleton moving to new family home for ‘fresh start' after scary cancer battle
Don't miss out on the headlines from Royals. Followed categories will be added to My News. Prince William and Kate Middleton, both 43, are relocating to a new family home with their three kids, Prince George, 12, Princess Charlotte, 10, and Prince Louis, 7. 'The Wales family will move house later this year,' a spokesperson at Kensington Palace confirmed to Page Six on Aug. 16. The royal couple moved to their current Adelaide Cottage home in Berkshire in 2022 to be close to their children's Lambrook School, The NY Post reports. Now, they are reportedly relocating nearby to a $21 million eight-bedroom property called Forest Lodge in Windsor Great Park. 'Windsor has become their home,' a royal insider told the Sun. 'However, over the last few years while they have lived at Adelaide Cottage there have been some really difficult times.' 'Moving gives them an opportunity for a fresh start and a new chapter; an opportunity to leave some of the more unhappy memories behind,' the source added. Unlike Adelaide Cottage, William and Kate are said to see the move to Forest Lodge as a 'long-term' move into their 'forever home.'

The royal pair is also reportedly using their own money to pay the full cost to renovate their new dream house, and insiders claimed that they will also not have any live-in staff. William and Kate were living at Adelaide Cottage, which is not far from Windsor Castle, when the princess was diagnosed with cancer last year. 'In January, I underwent major abdominal surgery in London and at the time, it was thought that my condition was non-cancerous. The surgery was successful,' Kate announced in March 2024. 'However, tests after the operation found cancer had been present,' she added at the time. Prince William with his family pups. Source: Instagram. After several months of gruelling chemotherapy, the Princess of Wales revealed that she was finished receiving cancer treatment in September. 'The last nine months have been incredibly tough for us as a family,' Kate said Sept. 9. 'Life as you know it can change in an instant, and we have had to find a way to navigate the stormy waters and road unknown.' 'The cancer journey is complex, scary and unpredictable for everyone, especially those closest to you,' she added.

But despite finishing treatment last year and announcing that she was in remission this past January, Kate is still struggling with her post-treatment recovery. 'You put on a sort of brave face, stoicism through treatment. Treatment's done, then it's like, 'I can crack on, get back to normal,' but actually, the phase afterwards is really, really difficult,' she said in July. 'You're not necessarily under the clinical team any longer, but you're not able to function normally at home as you perhaps once used to,' William's wife added last month.

Dimboola is the tiny town that's become Australia's capital of quirk
Don't miss out on the headlines from Lifestyle. Followed categories will be added to My News. Riding to the Never Never is a song from the soundtrack of the 1979 film Dimboola and also an accurate description of my four-hour drive from Melbourne to its namesake town. A place I've never never been despite almost a lifetime living in Victoria. The reason I'm finally visiting Dimboola is because I keep hearing that this wheatbelt town, population 1600, is defying the rural decline and having something of a revival. I also keep hearing about The Imaginarium. Housed in the former National Bank of Australasia (built – appropriately given our theme – in the Renaissance style), The Imaginarium is an extraordinary curiosity shop filled with unique gifts and a giant giraffe whose head almost brushes the 4.5m pressed-tin ceilings. Upstairs there are five guest bedrooms decorated in distinct styles; I'm staying in the Italian room with its jewel-coloured Venetian-glass chandelier and assortment of busts, cherubs and crucifixes. If that sounds a bit quirky, well … welcome to Dimboola. Chan Uoy in Dimboola's Imaginarium. Picture: Visit Victoria The creative forces behind the Imaginarium are Chan and Jamie Uoy (pronounced Oi, as in 'Aussie Aussie Aussie'), Melbourne restaurateurs who made the tree change in 2019. 'The first time I came to Dimboola I felt like I'd entered the twilight zone,' says Cambodian-born Chan, who arrived in Australia as a child refugee in the late 1970s and, last November, was elected deputy mayor of Hindmarsh Shire Council. 'There was no one around!' So the couple decided to create something to boost tourism and lure folks off the Melbourne-Adelaide highway. Enter The Imaginarium. 'We wanted a place that stimulates your mind and your imagination,' Chan says. I could write an entire article about the Imaginarium and the energy and ideas of this dynamic duo – Chan is also the founder of the Wimmera Steampunk Festival, the region's biennial 'carnival of peculiarities', – but there's so much else happening in Dimboola. I want to give credit where it's due. Owners Chan and Jamie Uoy at the Dimboola Imaginarium. Picture: Alex Coppel. New arrivals to the main street of Dimboola include The Forbidden Forest, a showroom of fairytale-inspired spaces conceived by Melbourne transplants Shane and Kylie Harman. Wander through Hansel & Gretel's Candy Haus, Jack & His Beanstalk Farm, The Witches' Lair and more. Each an elaborate stage set where everything, from games and toys, lollies and giftware, is for sale. 'The one big thing we find here is all the businesses work together,' says Shane. 'And because we own our shops, we're the people you see and talk to,' says Kylie. Across the road, Deb Howlett and Mark Gebhardt have opened That Little Vintage Shop with curated sections for men's and women's wear, haberdashery, millinery and kitchenware. Think of it as 'David Jones but with old stuff', says Deb. 'My shop is pretty quirky and not everyone accepts that, but here quirky is the norm.' She assures me that if the rain wasn't tipping down this late-July weekend, 'the street would be chockers'. Potter George Khut in his studio with works by his students. Picture: Kendall Hill Sydney expat George Khut opened Dimboola Pottery this winter in the old CFA shed and now operates a busy roster of four classes a week for the 'clay-curious' and plans to open a gallery showcasing his ceramic creations. He says he knew straight away Dimboola was the right place for him. 'It's affordable here and the community of shopkeepers have been really inviting.' Pop in also to Dimboola Vintage, a trove of gadgets and mechanical wonders, and grab a coffee at Dimboola Store, but try to avoid the Sunday brunch queues. Elsewhere in town, chef Cat Clarke has pimped out the kitchen at the Dimboola Golf Club to run a Thursday-to-Sunday restaurant on the banks of the Wimmera River. I loved the time-warped interiors of burnt orange and brown and her roasted duck with karkalla and muntries jus. 'I just cook with fresh produce ... and bush foods, the oldest ingredients around,' she says. Chef Cat Clarke at Dimboola Golf Club. Picture: Kendall Hill Meanwhile, at the Victoria Hotel, I have a juicy Angus scotch fillet with garlic mash and gravy in The Elbow Room, the one-time ladies lounge now a low-lit den strewn with Chesterfields, upright pianos and artworks. Owners Stoph and Meran Pilmore took over the century-old institution 10 years ago when the pub was mint green with laminate tables. Stoph says Dimboola has 'bucked the trend' of dying country towns and points to initiatives such as Wimmera's Silo Art Trail, said to be Australia's largest outdoor gallery, as driving the tourism boom. Opening soon, a main-street microbrewery called Frank Fox, and the Wimmera River Discovery Trail linking Little Desert and Wyperfeld national parks. Stage one, a walking and cycling path between Dimboola and Jeparit, will launch next month. Just one of many reasons to ride to the Never Never. The Wimmera River, Dimboola.

Don't miss this Down the road from Dimboola I spent a wonderful wet morning with volunteers at the Wimmera Mallee Pioneer Museum, a collection of historic buildings crammed with displays of everything bygone, from agricultural machinery to domestic paraphernalia. A must-see. Originally published as Dimboola is the tiny town that's become Australia's capital of quirk
