AFCM SPECIAL EVENT: ORPHEUS - GOOLBODDI ISLAND CONCERT


  • ORPHEUS ISLAND Australia (map)

A sell-out event every year - the annual AFCM Island Concert delivers enchanting music on the remote end of Orpheus–Goolboddi Island.

Enjoy a spectacular day of sunshine and music, with some whale watching along the way! A two-hour fast cat ferry ride gets you there with time to explore the island’s beauty, perhaps swim, before settling down on the beach to enjoy an hour of musical bliss. Our AFCM artists have chosen perfect pieces to complement the stunning setting. A lunchtime cruise back to Townsville-Gurambilbarra follows, with food & wine included.
