We were on ABC!!

This week, Ying and Bianca ended up on ABC Far North Queensland with Charlie McKillop, talking about why this little grassroots fair matters, and what we’re trying to build together here in Julatten.

“You know what, in the current state of the world, an event where people can connect, create, have a yarn and have fun feels pretty important.

Also, despite me stumbling over a few words on radio like a startled bush turkey, the response so far has been genuinely lovely.

We’ve got some exciting program sponsor announcements coming soon too, with more people jumping on board who believe regional communities can still create extraordinary things together.”
