Tens of thousands of revellers have descended on Deniliquin to kick off the 20th Deni Ute Muster festival.
The wild and iconic Aussie festival in southern New South Wales is a traditional country celebration of mud, beer, folk music and above all, utes.
The crowd didn't hold back as they slung themselves headfirst and butt-naked into mud pits, drank from gas-powered beer pipes and generally had a merry time on the flat, open plains.
The two-day festival runs from September 28-29 and draws a crowd of close to 20,000 people.

Deniliquin is the undisputed Ute Capital of the World and has been hosting the festival since 1999, when the region was struck by a crippling drought.
This year, country singing sensations are headlining the festival, including US singer Carrie Underwood, Aussie pop rock band Thirsty Merc and songwriter Kasey Chambers.
A host of local country and rock musicians are also performing at the festival.
The festival boasts a wide range of peculiar events and activities, including a display of the finest utes from all over Australia, wood chop demonstrations, helicopter rides and lawnmower racing for the youngsters.
