Australia's Biggest Bogan Festival a success | Photos

Dane Millerd and his team couldn't be happier with the crowd turnout, festival-goers' behaviour and the support from the towns and businesses involved.

Mullets, flannies, shoeys, Dazzas and Shazzas were out in full force on July 12 and 13 when the towns of Parkes, Condobolin and Forbes hosted Australia's Biggest Bogan Festival.

There were many prizes, activities, competitions and entertainment held across pubs in each of the towns on the Friday night.

This was the first time that the Australia's Biggest Bogan Festival was held, with Bogan Gate and its Railway Hotel acting as "Bogan HQ" on the main day of the event, Saturday.

Canberra's Ryan Leigh 'Bogan' Edwards was crowned the nation's biggest bogan and he also won best mullet.

Dane was pleased to see about 500 people attend the festival over the two days.

"The event has been an outstanding success and we can't wait to see everyone next year," Dane said.

"Ryan has autism and had never left Canberra before so it is ironic given we are raising funds for Currajong Disability Services that he won.

"He was a well-deserved and unanimous winner."

A percentage of the event's proceeds will help raise funds for Currajong Disability Services, located in Parkes, as well as the Bogan Gate community.

A "Bogan Mobile" was up for auction on Saturday, with Debbie Martin buying the vehicle for $520, which will also go to Currajong Disability Services.

And Lara Tulaga and Nigel Constable auctioned a Bogan Gate Beef Jerky hoodie for $200, to go to the same community service, as will a minimum of $250 kindly donated from each of the venues - Cambridge Hotel in Parkes, Post Office Hotel in Forbes, Railway Hotel Bogan Gate, Condobolin Hotel and Forbes Services Club.

Dane thanked all of the sponsors and volunteers for their support.

"[There were] zero fights...and only two people were asked to leave," Dane said.

"The police said it was a well-run and fantastic event especially given the stigma with the word 'bogan' and they recognised it was for a good cause."

The following is the list of the inaugural winners:
