The Webb Brothers, Fabian, Marius and Berard are three genuine brothers, who come from Gympie, Queensland, where they have lived all their lives on their "Thornside" properties. Not only are they well known for their excellent cattle production, but they are equally talented in writing and performing Australian country music.

Apart from recording, the Webb Brothers have made a number of television appearances, their most successful being a feature on the ABC's "A Big Country". Filmed on the Webb's family property, this documentary showed the lives, work and musical careers of the three brothers. This programme was broadcast throughout Australia as well as New Zealand and England. Due to the programme's enormous popularity, the Southland Country Music Association of New Zealand then invited the brothers to tour New Zealand, and in 1974, the brothers toured the South Island, playing to packed houses wherever they went. It was during this tour that the very successful "Live in New Zealand Album," was recorded in Christchurch.

1982 was a special year for the Webb Brothers - being the year in which they celebrated 100 years since their grandfather selected the family property "Thornside". September 1982 also marked 25 years as Country Music recording artists. When deciding to open their gates with a special celebration to mark these dual landmarks, no-one could have possibly predicted that it would have grown into the largest outdoor music festival in Australia.

On September 24, 25, and 26 1982, the Webb Brothers invited the public to join with them on their "Thornside" property for the "Webb Brothers Country Music Muster". Some 6,000 people helped the brothers and their families celebrate both a silver jubilee and centenary occasion in style. ABC's "A Big Country" was on hand to film this historic event (the first time "Big Country" had filmed two features on the same subject matter). The Webb Brothers used this occasion to launch their newest album - " Silver Jubilee Album," featuring the smash hit - "Who Put The Roo In Stew". The Country Music Muster continues to this day on the Gympie district. Their latest releases include their albums "Mustering On" and "The Best of the Webb Brothers". We hope you enjoy one of their most famous recordings. "The Call Of The Bellbird"

I'm pretty sure the Webb brothers ran a "Hootenanny" near Gympie in 1966, it was the year we left Gymoie. I was too young to go, but I knew someone who did. Might have been at Widgee, not Amamoor though

I'm from New Zealand, but I've been to Australia once - Adelaide, when I was almost 13 (late January, 2005), for a week.

I love this great bit of Aussie country ! There is a very good instrumental version of it by Barry Thornton, who played guitar for many years with Slim Dusty.
