Music Festival - Pack Down

🌿 Welcome to Wallaby Creek Festival

Three days. One magical corner of Far North Queensland. Music, art, community and a whole lot of good times.

Since 2002, Wallaby Creek Festival has brought people together in the beautiful Wet Tropics rainforest at Rossville, just south of Cooktown. Tucked into the spectacular meeting place of Wallaby Creek and the Annan River, the festival is a celebration of creativity, connection and community — created by the community, for the community.

Across three unforgettable days, you’ll find live original music across two main stages, a jam and chalkboard stage and a dedicated dance stage, with an eclectic program designed to have something for everyone.

But Wallaby Creek is so much more than music. 🌺

Expect poetry breakfasts, inspiring workshops, circus, dance, roving street theatre, a full children’s festival, delicious food, vibrant market stalls and spaces to relax, recharge and connect.

And then there’s the setting...

Surrounded by ancient rainforest, mountains, streams and the crystal-clear waters of Wallaby Creek and the Annan River, the festival feels a world away from everyday life. Camping is included, with bush showers and composting toilets adding to the wonderfully relaxed, back-to-nature experience.

Wallaby Creek is a festival you don’t just attend — you become part of it.

Whether you’re helping behind the scenes, welcoming festival-goers, working with artists or simply pitching in wherever you’re needed, volunteers are at the heart of making this very special community festival happen.

🌿 Come for the music. Stay for the magic. Become part of the Wallaby Creek community.
