Strings & Sunset: fine dining, live strings, and a proper Mallee sunset at Lake Tyrrell

If you’ve ever stood out on Lake Tyrrell as the light drops and the sky starts doing its thing, you already know: this part of the world doesn’t just do sunsets… it shows off. And that’s exactly what makes Haeusler’s Strings & Sunset 2026 such a ripper idea. A dressed-up, fine-dining night out on the “Sky Mirror”, with live music, good company, and a fundraising purpose that hits close to home out here. 

What’s the vibe?

Think exclusive Mallee location, formal attire, 3-course meal + beverages included, and the Mallee String Quartet providing the soundtrack as the sun sinks over Lake Tyrrell. Add in a silent auction and you’ve got one of those nights that feels a bit “pinch me” — but still proudly country at heart. 

The details (lock it in)

• When: Friday 13 February 2026, from 6:30pm through to midnight

Why it matters (this one’s got heart)

This isn’t just a pretty-night-out event — it’s raising funds for The Foundation of Mallee Track, supporting better health outcomes across Mallee Track communities like Ouyen, Underbool, Murrayville, Sea Lake and surrounds.

The Foundation’s already helped fund things like defibrillator monitors, radiology service projects, scholarships, and community health checks — the kind of practical, life-improving stuff that really matters when you live a fair way from the big hospitals.

Bottom line

If you love a good event with a wow-factor location, a proper Mallee soundtrack, and a cause that supports our own, Strings & Sunset is the one to circle. Grab your crew, dress up, and go soak up a night that’s equal parts classy and country proud.
