G’day to Mackay’s Little Queenslanders
The Queensland Government is celebrating Queensland’s youngest residents and their families with the latest G’day Little Queenslanders event in Mackay.
The free, family-friendly events are all about bringing together the State’s youngest residents and their families, for a morning of fun, laughter, and activities including everyone’s favourite heelers, Bluey and Bingo.
The event at Queens Park in East Mackay on September 5, will feature live children’s entertainment and activities including the Live Interactive Experience with Bluey and Bingo, food trucks, and welcoming spaces to relax and connect.
It’s just one of the ways the Queensland Government is delivering a fresh start and a plan for Queensland’s future, while also ensuring parents have access to the must-know government resources and local services.
Parents can also register their children aged 0–2 years to receive a personalised certificate at the event and the first 200 little Queenslanders to arrive at the event will receive a free kids' bucket hat.
Premier David Crisafulli said each of the G’day Little Queenslanders events brought local families together to celebrate our newest Queenslanders.
“G’day Little Queenslanders is about celebrating life’s early milestones for our youngest Queenslanders, bringing families together and building community connections,” Premier Crisafulli said.
“It’s a great opportunity for people from Mackay and surrounds to connect with a wide range of supports available, including government resources and health services.
“These events are being held in communities across our State so even more families, no matter where they live in Queensland, feels supported and connected.”
Member for Mackay Nigel Dalton encouraged locals with little ones aged 0 to 2 years to come along and be part of this special celebration.
"Every child deserves the best possible start in life, and G'day Little Queenslanders is a wonderful way to celebrate our youngest residents while connecting families with the services and support available right here in Mackay," Mr Dalton said.
"I'm looking forward to seeing local families fill Queens Park for a morning of fun.”
Member for Whitsunday Amanda Camm said G’day Little Queenslanders was all about celebrating the region’s youngest locals and bringing families together.
“It’s a fantastic opportunity for locals to entertain their little ones and learn about the services available to support them,” Ms Camm said.
