Australian icon, John Williamson, will celebrate his 51st anniversary in the music industry in 2021.

Like a dust-covered road train traversing this country, his songs capture the beauty of the landscape and its people and sometimes, the heartbreak of life Down Under, deftly moving between larrikin humour and touching pathos. Don’t miss the opportunity to see him live on his ‘Winding Back’ tour.

It was 1970 when John Williamson released his first song, Old Man Emu which kick started a five decade career, crafting out some of Australia’s unofficial anthems, tender ballads and songs that captured the outback landscape and the people of the country. He has toured the country many times over, selling more than 5 million albums along the way, and was inducted into the ARIA Hall of Fame in 2010.

“While I’m not looking to retire just yet, once I’ve completed my 2021 Winding Back Tour I’ll be scaling down my live appearances,” John says. “I’ve always loved the connection I receive when performing, so you’ll still see me popping up at festivals and special events. ‘Winding Back’ means I’m looking forward to spending more time in the garden and less time away from home.”

Mallee Boy, True Blue, Fair Dinkum, or whatever you call him, there is no other performer who stirs the Aussie spirit as he does – and this could be the final time you get to experience his inspiring concert.

Dinner and Show: Make a night of it and enjoy a two course meal in a private dining area before the show with the ’Dinner and Show’ ticket offer. Dinner commences from 6:00 pm. All guests are allocated on a communal table of up to 10 people.
