Track Muster 2027 — Birdsville, QLD

July 9, 2027 @ 12:00 pm - July 11, 2027 @ 12:00 pm

📌 Planning in progress — details subject to change. This event is in early draft stage. The TOCA committee will confirm all details, including venue and program, in the lead-up to 2027. Watch this space!

Track Muster 2027 is TOCA’s first major national gathering — three days of camping, community and outback adventure in the iconic town of Birdsville, QLD, on the doorstep of the Simpson Desert.

Whether you’re arriving after completing the Simpson Desert crossing with Group 1, heading out with Group 2, or simply coming for the weekend — Track Muster is the place to be in July 2027.

Proposed Program

Friday 9 July — Arrival Day
Roll in, set up camp, reconnect with fellow Track owners. Welcome drinks and dinner around the campfire. Group 1 Simpson Desert travellers arrive after completing their crossing.

Saturday 10 July — Main Day
A full day of activities and local attractions, including:

  • Sunset run to Big Red — the tallest sand dune in the Simpson Desert (~30km from Birdsville)
  • Scenic flights over the Simpson Desert and Goyder Lagoon (bookings essential)
  • Birdsville Billabong — birdwatching, wildlife and a classic outback morning
  • The iconic Birdsville Hotel — cold drinks and a curried camel pie, as tradition demands
  • Tech talks and campfire yarns — share knowledge, trip stories and setup tips

Sunday 11 July — Farewell Day
Breakfast together, final farewells. Group 2 participants depart Birdsville and head west over Big Red to begin their Simpson Desert crossing.

Who Is This For?

Track Muster is open to all TOCA members and Track Trailer owners and enthusiasts. You don’t need to be doing the Simpson crossing to attend — the weekend event stands on its own as a brilliant outback experience.

Location

Birdsville, QLD — approximately 1,600km west of Brisbane. This is a genuine outback adventure just to get there. Fuel up, pack your recovery gear and enjoy every kilometre of the journey.

More details including registration, campsite arrangements and the full program will be announced as planning progresses. If you’d like to be involved in planning Track Muster 2027, reach out to the committee at [email protected].
