Well friends, I could not tell anyone where we were until it's over. You would have been too jealous! We turned off the phone, set up out camp amongst the tall iron bark trees and settled in for a whole weekend of the greatest music event in Queensland. What a way to start and then finish 6 months on the road.

Some of you might recall we were here in April. That was the old fashioned music weekend. This one was the Quirky music weekend. An outstanding line-up with the famous "Church of Goat" on Sunday morning. An uplifting and sometimes irreverent show of gospel music and uplifting music and even a reading. Check the photo of the menu.

We camped at the site, roughed it with bush bucket showers but were a little spoilt with super clean flushing loos. Fit for the princess or prince of any family.

Bryce and Marney treated us to their special historical Apulucian mountain music, complete with some background and history. The songs are up to hundreds of years old, handed down though ages of family song.

We really enjoy these small shows of a couple of hundred audience and will definitely be back again.

One big surprise was the mystery performer. Brought on stage behind a human supported curtain for the reveal. When the curtain was whisked away, the legendary Chad Morgan was poised to entertain us for the next hour. It was amazing to see him do a full show at age 88 years. He even signed his latest "best of" CD and posed for photos.

Lindsay Pollock was also on hand to show us some interesting musical instruments. He played a variety of home made instruments including a folding chair flute.

This was one seriously jam packed weekend.Read more
