With a packed schedule of twenty shows across four Spring weeks, this tour heads all the way up to the red dirt and dinosaur trails of Muttaburra, before worksing its way through the North Burnett and Banana regions, all the way to the border towns of Texas and Ballandean in the Goondiwindi and Southern Downs regions.
