Over 100 Years of Tradition

Our Exhibition Hall is a showcase of the creativity and skills of the local community. Since our original heritage listed hall was destroyed in the cyclone, the Exhibition Hall is now located downstairs in the Community Centre at the Showground on the day.

Experience homemade jams, cakes, pies, and other baked goods on display, judged by local experts and awarded prizes based on their quality and presentation. You can also see a range of home-grown produce, alongside paintings, drawings, craft, literature and photographs in the art section. All exhibition pieces are created by non-professional hobbyists and home-makers.

The school work section is where students showcase talents taught in our local schools, and may include projects, artwork, literature, and other stellar work.

Overall, the Exhibition Hall is a platform for local participants to showcase their home-grown talents and creativity and for visitors to appreciate and learn from the works on display.
