Event Season in the CQ region goes into hibernation
~ Over the past 6 months we have been a part of many events around the region, and whilst there are still a few more events on the calendar, we have started to take step back from events and focus on other areas of the Tranquil Umbrella ~
Over the hot, wet and unpredictable North Australian Summer, you can expect us to focus more on the resource recovery: warehousing, stocktaking and repairing. or admin - website development, accounting. With that been said, we are still open, if you are planning an event, wedding or function of some sort, you can be sure we are ready to accommodate your needs!

New Dawn gathering 2023 was a huge success even with 70km winds!!!
Although a tad uncomfortable, the wind didn't stop us from gathering this year - Our 2023 edition of New Dawn Gathering was our best one yet, with the upgrades to site access and logistics and the introduction of more areas to gather in. The Homesteading Hub was a hit - with the plan to keep this addition and improve its functionality in the future. Our kids space & program has doubled, becoming a sort of festival within a festival A huge thanks to Homegrown Nature Play for taking this role on with grace and class.
With the upgrades to site, we can now access a new section of the farm, we trialed this area this year by introducing camping. It was was amazing to see a little tribe of campers settling in for the weekend - its hard to truly settle in when there is a total fire ban, strong winds, mosquitos and so much happening in the program, however these troopers did amazing at relaxing in to the space.
This trial proved to us that we can start to migrate our gathering away from the luxuries of the classroom and yard, and start to focus on building a purpose made area for this gathering. The year ahead of us will see the building of a communal kitchen hut and a new block of toilets & showers. With drinking water /plumbing added and landscaping / greenkeeping work to be done on the camp grounds. There will be working bees and small gathering in the near future where volunteers can come and be a part of this growing wonderland. So stay tuned for updates.
For now, SAVE THE MAIN DATE!!! - New Dawn Gathering 2024 - September 20th - 23rd
