Australian Music Centre | Breaking sound barriers

Event Details

Tura New Music is delighted to be transforming its Sounds Outback Festival, historically based at Wogarno Station near Mt Magnet, to this wonderful new initiative – Sounds Outback (…to Reef ) in and around Exmouth, Western Australia. This unique opportunity for audiences and artists alike to experience inspiring music within the majesty of outback Australia is destined to grow into an iconic annual event.

Exmouth, the Ningaloo Coast World Heritage Area and the broader Gascoyne region offer riches the local communities know well but the rest of Australia too often ignores. Sounds Outback (…to Reef ) provides a celebration of culture and place and opens a window to this world.  This would not be possible without the support of the local community and an array of organisations & local businesses. We especially acknowledge the support of Suzanne McHutchison & ECAC, the Shire of Exmouth, Dept of Environment and Conservation and the Gascoyne Development Commission. Whether you’re a local or from the furthest corner of the earth we look forward to sharing the journey of Sounds Outback (…to Reef ) together.
