140th Heritage Festival

In Croydon, history doesn’t sit quietly behind glass. It greets you on the street, catches your eye in unexpected corners, and quietly reminds you that this small outback town once played a very big role in Queensland’s story.
In 2026, Croydon celebrates 140 years since gold changed everything, and the Heritage Festival invites you to be part of that story — not just to observe it, but to experience it.

For one special week from 20 to 26 June, the town comes together to celebrate what makes Croydon so deeply loved: its stories, its creativity, and its strong sense of community.

Wynyard Tulip Festival

Date: 11/10/2026

In conjunction with Table Cape Tulip Farm opening its gates to a world of colour, the Wynyard Tulip Festival 2025 celebrates this iconic landmark, which attracts over 20,000 visitors every spring. The festival features live entertainment, Tasmanian produce, a fireworks display, thrilling rides, and family-friendly activities.

The inaugural Tulip Festival took place in 1991, born from the community’s pride in the vibrant tulips that blossomed each spring at Table Cape Tulip Farm. Over the years, we have celebrated 33 successful festivals, with only 2020 missed due to COVID.

What began as a small local celebration of spring and the region’s tulips has since transformed into a nationally recognised festival, attracting visitors from across Australia as well as countries such as India and China. Last year, the festival welcomed an estimated 20,000 guests.

This year, festival-goers can look forward to special appearances from nationally recognised guests, including MasterChef Australia 2024 runner-up Josh “Pezza” Perry and ABC Gardening Australia host Hannah Moloney, returning for her second year!

Theodore - QLD RVFT

The small inland town of Theodore is situated on the Leichhardt Highway and the Dawson River. The River and Theodore Weir have over the years provided irrigation to sustain the towns farming and agricultural industries. This is evident in the beautiful lawns and gardens, as well as the palm tree lined main street, The Boulevard, which is wide enough to cater for larger motorhomes. Theodore township was established in 1922 on land at the junction of the Dawson River and Castle Creek, with water provided by the nearby weir. The Hotel Theodore was opened as a hostel to cater for the many people coming to settle in the area. The community became the hostel shareholders and profits from the present day hotel are now used to support community projects.
