On Monday 18th December Carl & Trudy flew to Brisbane to represent Bowen Gumlu Growers Association at a meet and greet with the Premier & Ministers at the Premier’s Cabinet Christmas Evening. In the Premier’s speech she indicated the friendship and love she has for the people of regional and rural Queensland and was kind enough to welcome Carl & Trudy personally. Whilst in attendance we spoke with many ministers and gave them an open invitation to visit the Whitsunday Region which was accepted with enthusiasm.
