ANZAC DAY ANZAC Day is when we remember those who have fought for our freedom. We are grateful for every one of these soldiers who were all fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, brothers or sisters. It's through their ultimate sacrifice that we're able to live freely and safely today. The ‘Ode of Remembrance’ is a verse derived from the poem 'The Fallen' written by Laurence Binyon. This excerpt is used in services around the world as a tribute to remember fallen soldiers of war, and remains a legacy to their sacrifice. Country shows are an icon in Australian culture where communities come together and celebrate everything great about their town. It's an opportunity for our country towns to showcase their talents, produce, and have some fun as a community while encouraging others to visit and enjoy all the community has to offer. The Toowoomba Region is full of rich history, exceptional talent and has some of the best agricultural produce around. The show circuit starts in February and runs through to May. Our Conservation and Pest Management team follow the circuit to ensure we continually educate our community on preserving the land and managing pests. Make sure you visit our country shows and drop in and say hi to our friendly team. Feel free to ask any questions while y
