Outback Tour
The Outback Tour was not held in 2011. However, Australian Festival of Chamber Music hope to revive the special event in the near future.
The Outback Tour brought some of the best music in the world to some of the most isolated places in the world. Enthusiastic music lovers, join six musicians (including didgeridoo player William Barton) in a five day tour of Outback Australia, visiting Cloncurry, Ernest Henry Mine, Mount Isa, Normanton and Karumba focusing on fine food and music and masterclasses with hands on experience of the Queensland mining industry and communities.

Famous quotes containing the word tour:
“Left Washington, September 6, on a tour through Ohio, Kentucky, Tennessee, Georgia, and Virginia.... Absent nineteen days. Received every where heartily. The country is again one and united! I am very happy to be able to feel that the course taken has turned out so well.”
