THE Hinterland Aussie Day Expo will be back in 2024 bigger and better than ever with the popular event retuning to its original home at the Maleny Showgrounds.
The Maleny District Sport and Recreation Club is once again sponsoring the community event, with Expo Committee chair, Rick Vickers, saying it set to be a very special day following major disruptions during Covid.
Rick addressed community groups at the MDSRC last Thursday (August 31) urging any groups interested in holding a stall at the showgrounds to register their interest as soon as possible.
“There is so much variety here [in Maleny] and some of the community and sporting groups can’t wait to get involved and do something,” said Rick.
“Groups are really looking forward to this and are excited to have the event return. You can’t extinguish that community feel.”
Apex will be running its Big Breakfast once again, and the popular ‘passport’ system – that encourages the community to have conversations with groups would also be back.
“It’s a great way to start a conversation… and there will be a series of prizes for those with completed passports.
The Australia Day ceremony, flag raising and citizenship ceremonies will also be undertaken at the showgrounds. Rick said he wanted to thank the Show Society for allowing the use of the Showgrounds on the Australia Day event. To get involved go to: malenysportandrec.org.au
