About the Town

The heart of country music

Nanango is a small Queensland country town with a big personality. Sitting at nearly 500 metres above sea level in the South Burnett region, it's surrounded by cattle stations, state forests, and the kind of sky you only get this far from the city.

People have been calling Nanango the heart of country music for years — and come the last weekend of July, they're not wrong. The town opens its arms to dancers, musicians, and lovers of the country lifestyle from every corner of Australia.

Whether you're here to compete, to watch, or just to soak up the atmosphere, Nanango will surprise you. Come for the hoedown. Stay for everything else.
