\"Bethany<\/a>
South Burnett Cancer Council president John Bjelke-Petersen hosted Kingaroy’s annual Biggest Morning Tea at ‘Bethany’<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

May 15, 2014<\/strong><\/p>\n

The South Burnett has seen a lot of Australia\u2019s Biggest Morning Teas over the years, but today it probably saw its biggest yet.<\/p>\n

About 200 people gathered on the lawns of ‘Bethany’ near Kingaroy this morning to share some nibbles and a cuppa, and raise funds for the Cancer Council of Queensland.<\/p>\n

Kingaroy normally holds its annual Biggest Morning Tea at the Anglican Church Hall in Alford Street.<\/p>\n

But this year, because it’s Bethany’s centenary, and because of the Bjelke-Petersen family’s long association with Cancer Council fundraising – the event was moved to the farm as a curtain-raiser for the up-coming weekend of celebrations.<\/p>\n

The change of venue proved to be a hit, drawing a much bigger crowd than usual despite blustery conditions.<\/p>\n

Buses came from Orana, the Kingaroy Senior Citizens Centre and many other places to ferry visitors to the event, and a long queue stretched out of the front gate as cars filled the front lawn.<\/p>\n

Australia\u2019s Biggest Morning Teas are held throughout May and June in workplaces, schools, private homes, public halls – in fact wherever a few people can get together to share a cuppa.<\/p>\n

And there are more of Australia\u2019s Biggest Morning Teas on the horizon.<\/p>\n
