The festival begins on Saturday at 2pm with the Stan Coster Memorial Australian Bush Ballad Award being held at 8pm. Sunday is non stop music from 10am to 6pm. The event also flows into the town with busking in the street on Saturday, a bush poet’s breakfast and entertainment at various venues in the village leading up to the weekend at the showground.
When Jim Snow opened the first Bungendore Country Muster in 1986 he predicted a great future for the festival and he got it right. The Bungendore Country Muster has continued and in 2006 celebrated its 21st birthday and each year it continues to go from strength to strength.
The Muster is unique in that it is the only “all Australian” country music festival in Australia and has a core policy of existing for the betterment and benefit of the Bungendore community and Australian country music. All money raised during the festival goes to the local community and on improving the facilities for patrons.
The festival is held at the local show ground and over the years the Muster Committee has made improvements with the building of a permanent stage, water tanks and in 2007 assisted with the local community in the installation of an eight cubicle shower block. With the patrons enjoying the atmosphere of staying at the showgrounds this was a much needed improvement.

Robert Simpson is one of the few artists drawing almost entirely on his own creative energy as his motive force, and living proof of the all too often suppressed notion of being able to live by the creation of what you do, rather than to simply follow a path that someone else has set. He now interprets the contemporary landscape and the continuing effects that humankind is having on it. His visually appealing and metaphor ridden images in oil, acrylics and mixed media on canvas. paper and board contain substantial symbolism and are the tangible result of a deep thinking and caring environmental ideology that drives this major artist in his work.

Tuesday 6th 3:00pm
Flemington Racetrack, Melbourne
www.melbournecup.com
The first Melbourne Cup held in 1861 was certainly a dramatic event. According to legend, Archer, the first horse to win the Melbourne Cup, was reported to have walked 850 km (560 miles) from Nowra to Flemington to be a part of a race that one day would capture the spirit of a nation.
While at the time the news of the death of the explorers Burke and Wills may have kept people away from the race, a modest crowd of four thousand watched the seventeen starters and the thrilling lead up. Before the race commenced, Twilight started early and was captured only after he had run the whole course, and tragically, two horses, Dispatch and Medora, had died after a fall.
The following year Archer raced again to win his second successive Melbourne Cup. Although it is rumoured, he again had walked from Nowra to Flemington, many people thought it was more likely that he had travelled anonymously by ship.
Despite his owner's intention to race Archer for a third Melbourne Cup, he was unable to do so because of a technical error. Archer's acceptance nomination to race failed to arrive in time because it was delayed in the post. As a result, owners scratched many horses, in a show of solidarity. This left a starting field of only seven horses that history shows was to be the smallest field of horses to race in the Melbourne Cup.
At ten years of age, Archer fell in a race and was retired to stud but his place in history was forever cemented. The first Melbourne Cup winner was immortalised in the 1984 film Archer.
