BASIC EVENT INFORMATION

Welcome to POX-ECLIPSE; Australia’s first major Wastelander event where immersion is everything.

What is Pox-Eclipse?

Pox-Eclipse is a 3 day immersive event held annually in the Wasteland of Western Australia. The event is themed after post-apocalyptic media, especially the Mad Max films, and involves live music, film, games, stalls and post-apoclyptic vehicles. The first Pox was held in 2021 and the event has continued to grow each year. As a community built event, participants contribute to the building of the site and the activations therein through Clans. This means that the events and activations on offer are ever changing and always surprising. However one constant in our Wasteland is a wide variety of music. Every night at Pox-Eclipse there will be a different line up of live bands and clans will be open for drinks and dancing late into the night.

Travel

Typical 2WD vehicles can access the Pox-Eclipse site.

You should plan to leave yourself plenty of time to travel, be sure your vehicle is prepared for the trip prior to leave and carry a spare tyre/jack etc. Whilst driving ensure you plan for and have adequate breaks, rotate drivers and ensure your vehicle is not overpacked.

For those traveling from Perth, the Pox-Eclipse is a 2.5hr drive. There is one main road, and whilst it does have overtaking spots, they are limited. Please be considerate of other drivers and ensure you remain alert for Raiders. It may be advisable to fuel up your vehicle on the way into the Wasteland to assist with needing fuel on the return journey.

Please be aware that our entry gate to the event closes at 9pm to discourage night-driving.

Currency

POX-ECLIPSE Caps used to be the currency over the event site, but in 2026 we are taking a different approach. Bartering is your main form of trade between clans. Bring your barter items, in the wasteland items are king. POX-ECLIPSE Caps are no longer available and some may see these as rare items so bring any caps you have along for trades. Some Clans may be trading items as part of their fundraising activities, for this and other rare survival items you may want to purchase on site, bring real world CASH!

  • Radical self reliance, be a true survivor and bring the food you need.
