Looking For Some Outback Fun?
For 28 years the Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Festival has celebrated the spirit of the Queensland Outback with dirt, dust, sweat, beers, and tears. Each year festival-goers from all over Australia warm up for our new DnD Adventure Race, scrub up for the Artesian Express Race Day and Fashions on the Field, and gear up for the nightly bull rides and live concerts.
From running the gauntlet in our Adventure run to shaking your booty for Australia’s Best Butt the weekend is chockablock full of bucket list experiences for the whole family.
Prepare yourself for 2025, it’s going to be a festival for the ages!
