With a special focus on celebrating the United Nations International Year of Camelids (think camels, alpacas and llamas!), this year’s Summer Land Bush Festival on September 14 in the Scenic Rim is set to a spectacular celebration of country life.
The country market is the perfect place to kickstart Christmas shopping, featuring over 100 stalls, most from regional and rural Qld, with a wide variety of food, gifts, baked goods, relishes, clothes, and much more.
Soak in the sounds of live music and the aroma of fantastic food, all set against the backdrop of breathtaking views from Summer Land Camels; sample local wine, beer, vodka, and gin, each offering a unique taste of Queensland’s finest produce.
Whether it’s to grab a selfie with an alpaca, a camel ride, cooking demos, or to simply to enjoy the vibrant atmosphere, gather your squad, the family and friends for a day filled with fun, learning, and a true celebration of rural heritage.
