Visitors to the BP Dam Inland Family Fishing Classic at Yallakool Tourist Park this October long weekend are in for a special treat.<\/p>\n

On Saturday, October 5 the Classic’s first-ever “Murris Making Music” concert will be held under the stars on the foreshores of the Bjelke-Petersen Dam between 6:00pm and 9:30pm.<\/p>\n

The Junior Wakka Wakka dancers will also be appearing at the concert<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

This family concert will feature the South Burnett’s favourite indigenous country-rock band Muddy Flats; Deadly award-winner John Corowa from Hervey Bay; Cherbourg’s own Junior Wakka Wakka Dancers; and several other local performers.<\/p>\n

And – best of all – it’s absolutely free.<\/p>\n

All you need to bring along is your own chair or blanket.<\/p>\n

The concert is being jointly sponsored by ACICC (the Aboriginal Community Interest Consultative Committee) and the Stepping Black Indigenous Corporation Australia.<\/p>\n

It will be the first time a concert like this has ever been held at Yallakool.<\/p>\n

And it represents a rare opportunity to hear and see some of the South Burnett’s best indigenous musicians performing live in concert.<\/p>\n

The dam itself will be packed with thousands of people taking part in the annual Inland Family Fishing Classic, which runs from dawn on Saturday through to the final weigh-ins on Sunday morning.<\/p>\n

But the concert is open to anyone who’d like to take the short drive from Murgon down to the Dam, whether they’re taking part in the Classic or not.<\/p>\n

Parking is free and there will be on-site catering as well.<\/p>\n
