Groundwater is the focus point of the land
where the water flows to bring new life.
Our indigenous ancestors associated much of their culture, identity and
spirituality with the groundwater. Our Australian farmers are reliant on
the groundwater for their survival and most of us use our lakes, oceans and
rivers as the central points of our recreation time to camp, play and catch
up with each other.
welcome to
Groundwater is the common denominator in giving life and the magnet for
bringing groups of people together.
And that is what our team at Broadbeach Alliance loves to do.
Our festival’s recent rebranding reflects it’s growth as Australia’s fastest
growing Country Music Festival. It also exemplifies the growing popularity of
the country music genre in Australia, which is testament to this years fantastic
and diverse line-up.
(USA)
We would like to acknowledge the entire Broadbeach business community,
and give our whole hearted thanks to the sponsors, performers, crew and staff
who work tirelessly to bring this festival to life.
Country music is at its heart about life, passion and realism. Groundwater
Country Music Festival invites visitors to come to the Gold Coast for 3 days
of rocking music that will shake the earth and swell the spirit.
We thank you for being part of this journey and can’t wait to welcome you.
