No city hustle. No long queues. Just wide-open spaces, fresh air, warm hospitality and a small batch scene inviting you to eat local and shop small.

FEATURED EVENT
Queensland Mack Muster
September 12, 2026
12:00pm
Archer Falls Airfield, 1253 Neurum Road, Mount Archer
The Queensland Mack Muster will involve a fundraising convoy of Mack trucks, starting in Caboolture and arriving at the event site at Archer Falls Airfield. The majority of the fundraising convoy route will be located in the Moreton Bay region. The only part of the convoy route to occur within the Somerset Region is the final 1.4kms on Neurum Road, between Archer Falls Airfield and the Council boundary. A ‘show and shine’ event is then planned at Archer Falls Airfield, where Mack Trucks will be lined up on display. The event will showcase a wide range of Mack trucks, including early era trucks, restored classic trucks, working fleet trucks and current-generation Mack models. It is estimated that approximately 150 trucks will participate in the convoy, and up to 400 trucks will attend the show and shine event at the airfield. The event will raise funds for both the Jackson Hepner Foundation and Get Yourself Checked.
