IT will be all-in action at next week's Optus Gympie Music Muster, with organisers aiming to present the most inclusive all-ages, all-abilities, all-in Muster ever.
You might be four or 94, able to walk around or use a wheelchair.
You might be shy, or even anxious in crowds.
You might have health problems or some other obstacle to the enjoyment of major outside events.
You might even just be concerned at how to afford admission for your carer, if you have any issues requiring help from others.
But you will not have to worry about any of that at this year's big music event, in the hills above Amamoor, in the picturesque bushland of the Mary Valley.
The Muster is designed to be the most inclusive yet, with everything possible done to take care of any issues that might otherwise keep you away.
Speaking at Muster headquarters in Mary St, Gympie, yesterday, Gympie Muster Ltd CEO James Dein said the whole event is set up to be the friendliest, most tolerant and safest Muster ever, from both a security and medical point of view.
And carers doing their jobs will be welcome, with free admission, he said.
"We're aiming to really look after our campers this year, particularly for first-timers.
"We've got campsite spotters to help people find a site, without too much confusion - and that's a first.
"Camping marshals will act as community watch people to help everyone feel safe and to help people, particularly first timers, to get set up and enjoy the sense of community which is an important characteristic of the Muster.
"It's a community that comes together on the site each year.
"We're making every effort to help seniors, and those who are disabled and we have a special free admission deal for carers, for the first time.
"Carers accompanying the person they care for will be given free admission to the site and we will look after them.
"The old sound shell has been converted into a wheel chair accessible site, a prime viewing and listening site.
"This is so people needing wheel chair access can have the benefit of a prime, flat, secure area for disabled people to enjoy the event.
"The kid's club is back this year, with again a large secure and safe play area, supervised by professional blue card holders.
"This will allow mums and dads to enjoy the Muster and keep their children entertained at the same time.
"Security has been increased in the licensed area to ensure we keep and exceed all our obligations as far as responsible service of alcohol is concerned.
"Our people are working very closely with the authorities and we are doing that specifically to make people not only safe, but to make sure people feel safe.
"We want to relieve any anxiety people may sometimes feel about crowds and safety issues.
"This will back up the genuinely harmonious feel of the event, because there is a real harmony with community groups and the various agencies, all working together as a team to make the Muster thoroughly enjoyable.
"We've got four-year-olds up to 90-year-olds and we're confident we can give everyone a great experience," he said.
