Another Australian music festival has been cancelled, this time due to bad weather.
The WA Day Festival was due to take place on Sunday and Monday in Perth, with Eskimo Joe, Guy Sebastian and Pond playing.
But the free event was canceled after storms left Burswood Park flooded.

Images of the park show how it resembles a quagmire, with large puddles of mud scattered across the sodden fields.
‘We understand the disappointment this may cause and apologize for any inconvenience. “The safety of our attendees, staff and artists is our top priority,” said a statement from festival organizers Celebrate WA.

Perth is forecast to experience further heavy rain over the weekend, with up to 20mm on Saturday and 45mm on Sunday.
WA Premier Roger Cook said the festival could be rescheduled.
“We will be working with organizers and other key sponsors to potentially host a free community event later this year to celebrate our incredible State,” Mr Cook said.
WA Day Festival is shown in previous years, when the weather was kinder.
