Country Muster
It’s Summer, hot, and humid in my part of Australia. I’ve just come back from the Country Muster. The muster is a music festival held at our local showground and venues throughout the nearby township over this weekend. Other musters are held elsewhere in country towns across Australia over the year, often the weekend after a rodeo or after the local agricultural, horticultural, and industrial show.
During the muster, music is non-stop throughout the day and into the evening. Buskers also occupy positions throughout the local township, making shopping very pleasurable. There was an energy in the town today before the heat took its toll on visitors and residents.
It was extremely hot today – 40 degrees Celsius at 2 pm. Although I had fun at the muster, we cut our time there short because of the heat. There were many mulberry faced people though who stayed behind under the canvas rigged to provide shade for the audience. Sunlight as thick as golden paste painted the undulating landscape as we drove home.
I’m glad now to be back in air-conditioned comfort for the rest of the day.
