Dean Perrett Performs at Gifted Country Exhibition Open Event – RM Williams Australian Bush Learning Centre

RM Williams Australian Bush Learning Centre 23767 Gayndah Monto Road, Eidsvold, Queensland

Fourth generation cattleman, Dean Perrett has lived his life on his family’s bullock fattening property “Bowenfels” near Nanango. When Dean decided to pursue a career in the music industry as well, it made sense that he would become a bush ballad singer/songwriter and traditional country music artist. Over the past 35 years Dean has well and truly earned his spurs as the recipient of 5 CMAA Golden Guitars in a recording career of seventeen studio albums.   We are thrilled to have Dean Perrett, whose portrait features in the GIFTED COUNTRY EXHIBITION perform at the opening event.

Rachel Koster of Xcursion Arts decided that a scaled down  version of this concept  would be a fantastic way to bring the community together in an artistic collaboration to present quirky bite sized pieces of Gayndah’s history in a fun, interactive and engaging way. With financial assistance from RADF funding, the project was pieced together from January to July 2021, working with year 4/5 from the State School, local museum staff and community members.
