As the last caravan says goodbye,
Beneath the vast and fading sky,
The embers glow, the music slows,
But in our hearts the campfire grows.

From Amber Lawrence lighting the stage,
To Sam Snape’s songs that set the page,
And Matt Hale’s magic, bold and bright,
They filled our days and owned the night.

The laughter lingers in the air,
In dusty boots and stories shared,
Though quiet now the grounds may be,
They hold our joy and history.

So travel safe wherever you roam,
Until this place calls you back home,
We’ll try our best to top it too—
We can’t wait to see you in a year for Drovers Campfire 2027.

⭐️ Amber Lawrence – What a Show! ⭐️

What an incredible night with the amazing Amber Lawrence taking the stage at Drovers Campfire! 🎶🔥

From the moment she stepped up on stage in her sparkly red jumpsuit, our audience was completely captivated. The atmosphere was electric, the crowd was huge, and it was clear we were witnessing something pretty special – easily one of the biggest crowds Drovers has ever seen for an entertainment act!

A true country music star, Amber delivered a performance to remember and had everyone singing along.

Thank you, Amber, for bringing your talent, energy, and star power to our little corner of the world – you made it unforgettable 💛

🎶 Magical - Sam Snape on Saturday! 🎶

Saturday night was something special as Sam Snape absolutely lit up the stage at Drovers Campfire 🔥

A proud adopted Boggabri local, Sam brought the energy, the atmosphere, and a whole lot of talent to the crowd – and didn’t disappoint for a second. One of the most memorable moments of the night was seeing his daughter Annie join him on stage for a beautiful performance together 💛

It’s moments like these that make Drovers Campfire so unique – local talent, family, and a community coming together to celebrate.

Thank you Sam and Annie for an unforgettable night! Sam Snape

🔥 MEET THE FAMILY BEHIND DROVERS CAMPFIRE 🔥

What started as a simple idea around a campfire has grown into one of our community’s most loved events ❤️

Drovers Campfire was founded by a passionate Geoff Eather (pictured) who wanted to celebrate our rural way of life – bringing people together to share stories, music, food and good old-fashioned country hospitality. From humble beginnings, it’s grown year after year thanks to the dedication of volunteers, families and supporters who treat it like their own including granddaughter Charmaine Berding (pictured) who is currently at the helm of the event.

At its heart, Drovers Campfire has always been about community – a place where friendships are made, traditions are shared, and memories are created 🔥

We’re proud of where it began, and even prouder of the “family” it’s become. Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey – past and present.
