Back to Toogoolawah fun

TOOGOOLAWAH marked its annual Back to Toogoolawah Market Day on Saturday, September 6, filling the town with a vibrant showcase of local tradition, community pride, and enduring charm.

The gathering attracted hundreds of locals and visitors eager to celebrate produce, crafts, and heritage.

Stalls brimmed with fresh fruit, vegetables, handmade goods, quilts, flowers, plants, cakes, and timber creations. A special highlight was the makeover of the History Museum’s cow statue, revitalised by local artist Susan McConnel with new colours and design.

Entertainment flourished with the Somerset Model Railway captivating enthusiasts, while children enjoyed face painting and the festive atmosphere, uplifted by live music.

Beyond the station, the celebration — titled Walk Around Town — spread across Toogoolawah. Events included a spirited six-a-side cricket match at McConnell Park, a Movie Poster sale at Alexandra Hall, memorabilia with Devonshire tea at the RSL Hall, and an art show, The Way Things Grow, at the Condensery Gallery.

See you next year, Toogoolawah!
