Perfect day for HinterWonderLand

IT was the first hinterland street party since 2019 and revellers turned out in droves to celebrate its return.

Between 8,000 and 10,000 people attended HinterWonderLand 2022 with organiser Shelly Le Vesconte from Jack Rabbit Events saying it had been an amazing day.

“We were so thrilled to not only have perfect weather, but to have the support of the community for the entire day,” she said.

“With such a fantastic turnout, we can’t wait to do it again next year.”

From the main stage light show and headline act Reece Mastin, to jumping castles, a petting zoo, wrestling, rock wall, markets and laser assault, there was something for everybody.

Food trucks and stalls were kept busy all day.

Baan Thai was serving a delicious selection of entrees, mains and desserts, including the classic Pad Thai and a scrumptious coconut cake.

Vianta was serving tasty gourmet chicken skewers in satay or Asian style sauce, and French crepes with a variety of toppings including jam or Nutella.

The winner of the HinterWonderLand major prize went to Elizabeth Scarra, who gets $1000 and a gift from Australia Zoo valued at $500.  Second prize went to  Martina Clarke who won $300 and a Coochie HydroGreen Glass House Mountains $500 voucher. Third prize went to Liam Linane who won $200 plus an $100 gift from McGrath Real Estate Group.
