March 6, 2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

Did you notice all the caravans and campers in Wooroolin last weekend? It was a sure sign the Country Music Campout was back in town.<\/p>\n

The popular event at Wooroolin Memorial Hall was started by Geoff Grevell and Sue Bradley back in 2021, and has been held annually (or more often) since then.<\/p>\n

It always attracts lots of amateur and professional singers eager to take a turn on the stage.<\/p>\n

And most of them camp just across the road from the hall!<\/p>\n

This year, the Country Music Campout was organised by Terry and Noraine Mason, from Bundaberg, although Geoff and Sue were still involved.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Speaking at the Friday night dance, Terry said he had been happy with the turnout and there had already been 63 walk-ups for the event.<\/p>\n

All the favourite activities took place, including a dance on one night and a big variety concert as a finale.<\/p>\n

Terry said a second campout event would be held at Wooroolin later year.<\/p>\n

The dates for this are September 23-26.<\/p>\n
