Queensland Day 2025 was hosted at the Proserpine Entertainment Centre, and it was a great success.
The free community afternoon was packed with local entertainment and Queensland spirit!
Highlights included the Skyhigh Circus show, Wildlife Whitsundays animal encounters, market stalls, food vendors, kids’ craft and games, and live music on the lawn.
Free lamingtons were also given out and the event ended with a special screening of Crocodile Dundee.
Whitsunday Regional Council Mayor Ry Collins said it was great to see so many smiling faces and seeing everybody come together to celebrate Queensland Day.
“Queensland Day is about more than just a date on the calendar,” he said.
“It’s a celebration of our stories, our people, and that unbeatable Queensland spirit and nowhere captures that better than our Whitsundays.
“From our vibrant towns to our hard-working communities, this region is packed with talent, passion, and heart. And today we’re showing it off, Whitsunday-style.”
