The first Gympie Muster, held in 1982 as a celebration of the Golden Guitar win by the Webb Brothers’, has grown to become one of Australia’s most recognised iconic fundraising events, returning more than $21.8 million to community groups and charities since inception. The Muster is proudly owned by the Apex Club of Gympie and its fundamental purpose has always remained the same – to raise funds for those in need in our communities. Over the years there have been more than 2500 performances including Australian country royalty Slim Dusty who has a camping area named in his honour.
The Gympie Music Muster site is in the Amamoor State Forest, approximately 40 kilometres south-west of Gympie. It is an easy 2-hour drive north of Brisbane, just 45 minutes from Noosa and a hop, skip and a jump from Heritage Listed Fraser Island and the beautiful beaches of Rainbow Beach.
The 20-minute forest drive from Amamoor is accessible for all vehicle types and includes some dirt road. Please look out for local koalas and other wildlife, Mary Valley is koala country and it’s breeding season in August, so koalas are on the move.
If you google search Amamoor, there’s lots of signage from the town out to the Muster site.
