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:
“Do you know I believe that [William Jennings] Bryan will force his nomination on the Democrats again. I believe he will either do this by advocating Prohibition, or else he will run on a Prohibition platform independent of the Democrats. But you will see that the year before the election he will organize a mammoth lecture tour and will make Prohibition the leading note of every address.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
