The first campers settled in at Nanango Showgrounds last Monday to make sure they had the best spots for the 2015 Heritage Nanango Country Muster.
By the time the event was officially opened at noon on Friday, there were about 650 caravans and campervans packed into the showgrounds – with more rolling through the gates.
The four-day music festival has become a popular stopover on the “grey nomad” circuit, and it looks like this year’s 13th annual muster is going to be bigger and better than ever.
The muster was officially opened by South Burnett bush balladeer and Golden Guitar winner Dean Perrett on Friday.
Compere Barry Williams – back for his 12th Muster – said he always looked forward to Nanango Muster as it was one of the best in Australia.
The Muster will continue all day Saturday until late, and until noon on Sunday.
As well as country music and bush ballads, there’ll be bush poetry and Gospel music.
Artists on stage will include Glenn Jones, Graham Rodger and the Lindsay Waddington Band.
A popular part of the Muster is the artists’ tent where fans can meet the singers and buy autographed copies of their CDs.
