country music: For the past 34 years, tens of thousands of fans have converged on the area to watch the best of Australian and international country music talent, according to Australian Broadcasting Corporation. And while most attention is focussed on stage, local business owners look forward to hearing the cha-ching of cash registers. The usually peaceful and idyllic spot, two hours north of Brisbane, is transformed into a heaving country music mecca. Muster organisers estimated the event injected close to $6.8 million into the Queensland economy in 2014, with $5 million spent in and around the local Gympie region. It is the closest point of supply for campers in need of basic necessities. One small business which is looking forward to a similar cash injection in 2015 is the Amamoor General Store and Post Office.
