Country Gympie Musters the Music

One of Australia's biggest country music festivals with a touch of the blues — the National Country Music Muster — opens in Gympie, Queensland, in the Amamoor Creek State Forest Park, on August 26. The festival, held each August in Gympie, draws singers, musicians and crowds from around Australia and overseas. This year's festival runs until August 31.
