DINNER UNDER THE STARS

This is a Trail Traveller Super Pass exclusive event and was the first to sell out in 2026, so get in quick.

As we approach the finale of the Trail, Julia Creek’s Dinner Under the Stars on Wednesday 19 May is where Trail friendships are forever forged over a shared meal and a relaxed gathering bringing Trail Travellers and community together for music, food and connection beneath the stars.

A regular ritual for locals in peak season, this bush dinner is served by a local community group, creating an opportunity for local fundraising while sharing a unique experience with fellow travellers.

  • The evening features performances from the 2027 Toyota Star Maker, alongside local artists, with the Star Maker to be announced at the Tamworth Country Music Festival this January.

THE 2027 OUTBACK TRAIL

Charleville ➜ Blackall ➜ Barcaldine ➜ Longreach ➜ Winton ➜ Julia Creek ➜ Mount Isa

From Charleville to Mount Isa, an Outback Queensland adventure is calling, and music leads the way as QLD Music Trails: The Outback returns for its fifth year from 8 – 22 May.

We invite you to let the music take you on a one-of-a-kind self-drive adventure that blends live music experiences, unforgettable landscapes, and the warmth of country communities into a journey like no other.

Welcome to Julia Creek

Located in the heart of Queensland’s Outback, Julia Creek is a small town with a big heart and plenty to discover. Take a dip and unwind in the famous Artesian Baths, cool off at the water park, or step back in time at the Duncan McIntyre Museum, where the town’s pioneering spirit comes to life.

Julia Creek is also home to the endangered Julia Creek Dunnart, a tiny marsupial found nowhere else on earth.

With its friendly locals, rich heritage, and unique attractions, Julia Creek is Outback hospitality at its finest.

QMF respectfully acknowledges the Mayi Peoples as the Traditional Custodians of the lands, waters and skies of Julia Creek, where Dinner Under the Stars unfolds. We honour their deep and unbroken connection to Country, culture and community, and pay our respects to Elders past and present. We recognise that music, art and story have echoed across these lands since time immemorial, shaped by knowledge holders whose cultural practices continue to influence and inspire this event.
