It was a big day for the Blockheads.
It’s official! The Block has begun with a bang!
We’ve been introduced to our newest lot of Blockheads – Sonny and Alicia, Britt and Taz, Robby and Mat, Emma and Ben, and Han and Can.
In order to secure their ideal houses, all of the Blockheads had to embrace their creative sides and design floats for Daylesford’s annual ChillOut Festival.
The five-day extravaganza is the largest pride event in regional Australia.
While we only saw a fraction of the festival, New Idea has got our hands on exclusive photos from the event, behind-the-scenes shots, and those Budgy Smugglers!
See them all below.

For Han, being embraced by the town, and proudly out on The Block, was a big deal.
“Having the chance to be out and proud as well does mean so much,” she said during the episode.
“I know for a lot of my teenage years I felt a lot of shame and insecurity around my sexuality. I’ve not professed that I have a girlfriend, or that I am gay, and I do hide it from certain people in certain instances.
“So, to come onto national TV and just be like… it is a big thing. It is just fully owning yourself and being like, ‘I am here, and this is who I am, I’m no different.’”
She added that being embraced by the town and the contestants was a “relief”, and “really special”.
