Round up your mates and come out and celebrate at Queensland’s outback premier event - the Outback Festival being held from September 20 to 24, 2011, during the September school holiday period. The festival is known for its unique and quirky Aussie events, plus a carnival atmosphere that welcomes city and country people alike.

At the Quilton Australian Dunny Derby, Australia’s fastest outhouses will be off and racing for over $5,000 in prizemoney and trophies. It’s the funniest race you’re ever likely to see! Other major events in the 2011 program are Outback Iron Man and Iron Woman, Masters of the Outback, Outback Iron Kid, Outback Whip Cracking Championships, Country Music concerts, Bushman’s Egg Throwing, Bush Poets Breakfasts, World Crayfish Derby Race Meeting, Meggsie Mania (kart racing), Children’s Festival and Workshops, True Blue Aussie Sport and Wobble Board Painting.
