The Wandong Country Music Festival is an annual country music festival held in Wandong, Victoria, 50 kilometers (31 mi) north of Melbourne, Victoria.
Started in 1972, Wandong was once Australia's largest country music festival, but dwindling crowds in the 1980s lead to its cessation until 2001, when the modern version of the festival was inaugurated. This festival is no longer running "DUE TO CIRCUMSTANCES BEYOND OUR CONTROL." As at 2012.
