As our event gets closer and closer, the excitement builds as we announce our performers.

This year, we are looking forward to welcoming Maidie Eacott to perform at our event on Friday August 21.

Maidie hails from the Kiewa Valley, where she spent her childhood exploring the hills surrounding her family's beef property. After leaving school, she followed her dream of the outback, spending her twenties working on cattle stations from the Channel Country to the Kimberley and back again.

Her music reflects that adventurous spirit, with themes of home, family and life on the land woven throughout her songwriting. Today, Maidie has returned to Kergunyah to raise her own children in the same red brick home where she grew up, giving them the freedom to roam, ride horses and embrace the values, traditions and strong family connections that have shaped generations before them.

We’re thrilled to welcome Mat Rogers as our first 2026 guest speaker! 🏉

One of Australia’s rare dual-code internationals, Mat built an incredible sporting career representing the Australian Kangaroos, Queensland Maroons, and Wallabies, earning a reputation as one of the most exciting and versatile players of his generation.

But it’s what happened beyond the field that makes Mat’s story truly powerful. After facing the devastating loss of his father and his own battles with depression and suicidal thoughts, Mat has become a passionate mental health advocate, using his experiences to encourage honest conversations, break down stigma, and remind others that asking for help is a sign of strength.

Don’t miss the opportunity to hear Mat share his inspiring journey of resilience, leadership, and hope. His story is one that will challenge, motivate, and leave a lasting impact on everyone in the room.
