About QLD Music Trails: The Reef  

QLD Music Trails – The Reef invites audiences on a one-of-a-kind, self-drive musical adventure along the breathtaking coastline of The Great Barrier Reef.

Driven by music, the Trail guides the audience along the coastline’s most awe-inspiring destinations, with each stop inviting a celebration of iconic music moments, enriching cultural experiences and heartfelt local hospitality.

By joining the Trail, the audience becomes part of a community of like-minded Trail-goers, made up of fellow caravanners, explorers and music lovers.

The audience is invited to explore the reef coastline ‘their way’ by customising their itinerary to include the events, destinations and attractions that resonate and meet their individual needs.
