Outback Country, Rock & Blues Weekend 17 -19 April 2009
The Outback Country, Rock & Blues Festival is a 3 day weekend of over 16 hours of live music in one of the most unique settings in Tropical North Queensland. Situated in the outback just west of Cairns, Undara is an amazing destination where you can see the remnants of ancient volcanic activity and giant lava tubes. The landscape out here is so different from the coast, as you drive through look carefully for the places where the lush rainforest becomes the great Australian bush.
The Outback Country Rock & Blues Weekend is on 17 -19 April 2009. Early bird tickets are $89.00 and that includes shows on Friday and Saturday night, and the Sunday Recovery. There are going to be some brilliant artists performing and it should be a really good weekend. Camping, or swag tents are available for the weekend, and you can self cater or eat in the restaurant.
