Apart from the manageable single-stage focus and family-friendly riverside setting, producer David Frazer has a simple secret to its success: "We send out a lot of Christmas cards."
Among those who replied this year are You Am I, the Church, CW Stoneking and Missy Higgins, whose Sunday afternoon climax will feature a few new songs written during her first year of motherhood. Higgins’ first three albums have sold more than three million copies.
A feature of the event is always the presence of historic paddle steamers meandering down the Murray River and past the park.
The Murray River tourist town's picturesque outdoor venue's capacity is capped at 5000, giving MC Brian Nankervis plenty of room to play frisbee.
