The Grandest Muster of All

The opening song for the Muster, written by Kelly Dixon, one of Australia’s greatest songwriters who has written over 160 songs, including 40 for Slim Dusty.

Where no drunks or filthy language, or litter spoils the party,

And you never have to lock your things away.

Where we always help each other, if a problem does arise,

And heartstrings become tugged by night and day.

Chorus: To those who’ve never tasted the joys of Clarence Valley,

If you’re “Country”, pack your caravan and take your pets along.

Join in with all the “family” for a week of country music,

And enjoy the stories told in every song.

In a tiny place near Grafton, there’s a country muster town,

Where the music and the people are the best, you’ll ever find.

Ten great years have seen it flourish, covid and flood it beat them all.

Clarence Valley Muster leaves the other shows behind.

A venue out in farmland, but it’s won the hearts of thousands,

With its pure country feeling, and the artists that appear.

The sound is next to perfect, the people are so friendly,

They keep coming to Ulmarra and never miss a year.
