Feel The Country Vibe At Country Hoedown

Located on the beautiful Bogie River, situated between Bowen and Collinsville is Normanby Road Nature Bush Camp, a vibrant country venue which is set to host an event for all ages this Saturday 3 August.

Country Hoedown is a cash only special event for all to enjoy, with affordable prices, games, activities, live music, dancing, food and BYO alcohol.

Games will entertain young ones for hours and include tug-o-war, sack races, Jenga and other campsite games.

Normanby Road Nature Bush Camp has created a true country vibe, with hay bales, market stalls and a warm bonfire for the chilly winter nights.

Animals are allowed on leash, and generators are permitted as per set times to ensure the serenity of the property is maintained. 

The event is also a fundraiser which will be raising funds for Melanoma research through the local Buck Off Melanoma charitable organisation.

Country Hoedown is a one-day event and admission is just $2. If staying on after 6pm until late a day pass is $10. Normanby Road Nature Bush Camp encourage campers to stay overnight for $10 per person/per night and under 16’s are free.

This is the first time the event has taken place and camp owners and event organisers Paul and Tori Druery are excited to welcome everyone to the party.

“We are really excited to hold our first event, which will have a fun country vibe,” said Paul and Tori Druery.

“We've worked hard to create something from nothing, catering for young and old alike.

“We hope this event will be the first of many, showcasing Whitsunday talent while supporting our local community.”
