Geocache Description:

22 September 2023, 09:00 - 09:30

Yea! We're having a Flash Mob! in Longreach.  The FIRST ever.

Longreach is situated just south of the Thompson River, which eventually flows into Lake Eyre, via the Thomson River and Cooper Creek. Longreach is the administrative center of the Longreach Region LGA. Major industries are tourism, sheep, and beef cattle. 

In 1862, the enormous Bowen Downs cattle station was established across the region by William Landsborough, Nathaniel Buchanan, and Edward Cornish. In 1872, Bowen Downs was divided into two huge properties, the section along the Thomson River being named Mount Cornish. An outstation of this Mount Cornish cattle station was called Longreach because it was situated on a long reach of the Thomson River. This location later developed into the township of Longreach.

WHEN:- Friday 22nd September 2023.

TIME:- 0900 to 0930

WHERE:- Meet at QANTAS Park, opposite the Council Chambers and next to the Visitor Information Centre.  All at the major Roundabout in Longreach.

We will burst into a "spontaneous" rendition of “I Still Call Australia Home” played on Kazoos (and any other instrument you can play).

Here is PeterAllen's original version for you to practice your humming (or on your kazoo if you already have one)

Here's a Lyrics Version.  Or if you prefer a karaoke version, try this one.

What to Bring:- Bring your own Kazoo, or pre-purchase one.  OR your own musical instrument.  Play in the Key of F major.  You can download a FREE sheet music file HERE.
