Two people were taken to hospital from Dunedin’s Hyde St Party, one after falling from a roof and the other for severe intoxication.
About 10.45am, hundreds of students wearing a plethora of costumes — from Where’s Wally to orange jump-suited inmates and everything in between — were dancing to thumping music from sound systems set up the front yard of three student flats.
Thousands more students arrived over the course of the afternoon, until one-way doors were put in place at 4pm.
Senior Sergeant Anthony Bond, of Dunedin, said the weather had turned itself on for the party, resulting in "another Dunner stunner".
St John treated 22 people, two of whom were taken to Dunedin Hospital, one with a head injury caused by falling from a roof, and another for severe intoxication, Snr Sgt Bond said.
While a few people were kicked out of the party for jumping fences, the crowd had been good-natured.
