Residents in the northern Victorian town of Rochester face an anxious wait to see the extent of flood damage after waters peaked this morning.

It comes a day after people were evacuated from Seymour and Yea in the state's centre.

Outdoor event organisers told to prepare for extreme weather as Queensland festival goers swelter in record-breaking summer​

Wildlands Festival attendee Dominic Bilton said he tried to stay cool by "sticking to the walls" as he waited to get in, but panic still set in.

Organisers, responding to the 28-year-old's complaint, acknowledged "the challenges faced during entry" and said they would investigate "ways to improve the flow and comfort of festival goers upon arrival".

The organisers did not respond to questions from the ABC.

Mr Bilton, 28, said he had hoped for a fun night out with friends but the situation quickly turned "dangerous" and "scary".

Mr Bilton, who is a frequent festival goer, said he would not return to Wildlands this year.

"I've seen festivals manage weather really well in the past when there's been some extreme weather events," he said.

"This was the worst one that I've ever been to."
