Five busloads of South Burnett residents attended Day 1 of the recent FarmFest at Kingsthorpe, thanks to a field trip organised by the South Burnett Regional Council.<\/p>\n

FarmFest is one of the largest agricultural events in Queensland with more than 750 exhibitors.<\/p>\n

The free buses and free admission to the field day were offered in partnership with the State Government’s TRACC (Tackling Regional Adversity Through Connected Communities) program.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The buses stopped along the way at Oakey for the travellers to enjoy morning tea and hear an address from former NRL star Shane Webcke about health issues and farm safety.<\/p>\n

The TRACC program’s community grants aim to enable communities affected by adversity – including natural disasters or drought – to build community resilience.<\/p>\n
