The Dingo Creek Wine, Jazz & Blues Festival is a showcase of Australian and international music raising money for charity. Set in the Noosa hinterland, the festival weekend highlights blues, jazz, food, Queensland wines is held at Dingo Creek Vineyard situated at Traveston, Qld, just south of Gympie.[1][2]

History and charity

David and Marg Gillespie[3] began this festival in 2002 to commemorate what would have been their daughter, Rachel's 21st birthday,[4] who they lost to Sudden Infant Death Syndrome (SIDS). Since then they have raised more than $70,000 for SIDS and Kids Qld,[5] as well as promote the service free of charge to all Queensland families.[6]

With David and Marg's retirement from the Dingo Creek Jazz & Blues Festival, Gympie Rotary Club has agreed to take on the management of this event with all proceeds going to community charities and keeping with festival tradition, SIDS will be the major benefactor.[7]
