If you love the King of Country, you will want to join us for a special morning tea event at the Slim Dusty Centre on Thursday, June 13 at 10am.
As part of the festivities, we're excited to offer complimentary entry to the museum in the morning, allowing attendees to explore and appreciate the rich history and culture that shaped Slim Dusty's remarkable career.
To make this occasion even more special, Slim Dusty's daughter and respected country music artist, Anne Kirkpatrick, will be joining us to cut the birthday cake.
It's a rare opportunity to celebrate Slim Dusty's legacy with his family and fellow fans.
This event is not only a celebration of Slim Dusty's contributions to Australian music but also a chance for the community to come together and enjoy some great company, delicious treats, and some of the awesome memorabilia in the museum.
