G’DAY AND WELCOME TO WINTON! Festival Theme: Celebrating 100 Years of QANTAS

You’re invited to live the outback experience with 5 days of action-packed events and entertainment here in Winton, Australia’s dinosaur capital and home of Waltzing Matilda.

They say out of adversity comes creativity and that’s exactly what happened when a group of Winton locals back in 1972 came up with the idea for a festival to attract visitors to town following some pretty dire drought conditions. Now billed as one of the world’s quirkiest festivals, visitors come from all over to join in on the action, experience true outback hospitality and to witness the famous Quilton Australian Dunny Derby.

Enjoy... and thanks for coming!

Outback Festival

MESSAGE FROM THE MINISTER FOR TOURISM INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT AND INNOVATION AND MINISTER FOR SPORT

The Hon. Stirling Hinchliffe MP Welcome to the Outback Festival, a wonderful opportunity to immerse yourself in Outback Queensland’s local culture and community, and hopefully explore some of the superb tourism experiences on offer here.

The impacts of the pandemic have provided incredible challenges, but thanks to the hard work of Queenslanders our state was one of the first to put in place a COVID Safe Event Framework which paved the way for events such as this one to take place.

The Queensland Government is proud to support the Outback Festival, through Tourism and Events Queensland’s Destination Events Program and it is a feature on our It’s Live! in Queensland events calendar. Events are an important part of our state’s economic recovery from the pandemic because they attract visitors to the region which stimulates the local economy and supports local jobs.

Events are also an important opportunity for communities, friends, families and visitors to come together, creating community pride and reconnecting us.

Congratulations to the event organisers and all those involved in organising this event – may it be a successful one.

If you are visiting for the event, I encourage you to make some time to explore the diverse tourism experiences on offer in this beautiful region.

The Hon. Stirling Hinchliffe MP Minister for Tourism Industry Development and Innovation and Minister for Sport.

ENTERTAINMENT JAMES BLUNDELL Quilton Australian Dunny Derby Concert Friday 24th September 7:00pm There are many terms people use when describing James Blundell.

Icon. Legend. Controversial.

Rebel. The truth is - James Blundell is all of these things.

He is unashamedly honest and comfortable in his own skin.

He radiates an enthusiasm for everything that life has to offer and it’s this authenticity that makes him one of the most instantly likable and recognisable artists in Australian music.

THE AUSTRALIAN BUDDY HOLLY SHOW Opening Concert Tuesday 21st September 7:00pm The Australian Buddy Holly show is a dynamic portrayal of an authentic rock n roll legend, starring Kris Knight as Buddy who recreates the hiccupping vocal and swooping voice of one of popular music’s most loved icons.
