Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved
After a wet season that kept everyone on their toes — and a few near misses along the way — Ingham is ready to swap gumboots for dancing shoes.
Hinchinbrook Shire Council is inviting the community to let their hair down at the Bounce Back Bash, a live music event at the TYTO Wetlands on Saturday 30 May, following Tasman Turtle’s Picnic Day.
Like many in the community, Ingham has been navigating recovery after months of rain and weather challenges. While we dodged a few bullets this wet season, Council says it’s important to acknowledge the resilience shown across the Shire and to take a moment to reconnect, celebrate and enjoy being together.
Headlining the night is Pete Cullen & the Hurt, an Australian outlaw country and Americana act known for high energy shows and foot stomping live performances. Pete Cullen has headlined major festivals including Tamworth Country Music Festival, Groundwater Country Music Festival and Gympie Muster, and has had music featured on Triple J, MTV, CMC, RAGE and the television series Upright.
Local favourites Last Chance will warm up the crowd, bringing plenty of home-grown talent to the TYTO stage. The Bounce Back Bash will run from 5:00pm to 11:30pm and is an 18+ event, with a barbecue and bar available on site. Limited seating will be provided, and guests are encouraged to bring a picnic blanket, soak up the parkland's atmosphere, or dance the night away.
Tickets are $10 plus booking fee via www.hinchinbrooktickets.com.au, making it an easy way to cap off a free full day of community celebration at Tasman Turtle’s Picnic Day that kicks off from 9:00am to 2:00pm.
Council encourages residents to come along, support live music, catch up with friends and enjoy a well-earned night of fun as the community continues its recovery journey. This event is proudly funded by the Australian and Queensland Governments under the Commonwealth–state Disaster Recovery Funding Arrangements (DRFA) in association with Hinchinbrook Shire Council.
