2023/24 Tour Recap: Townsville, Qld

On a vibrant afternoon in Townsville, Tom Curtain showcased his “Why We Live Out Here” tour with a performance that was as much about the music as it was about his remarkably trained animal companions. Accompanied by Chris Matthews and Mel Fraser, Tom delivered not just songs, but stories woven with the antics of his working, goats and horses. These animals, far from your average pets, performed with a precision and charm that could outshine any choreographed dance number. This event highlighted Tom’s unique ability to engage the crowd with a blend of outback culture, live music and canine and equine performance.
