Independently Owned, Locally Grown, Community Loved

More than 2,500 people spent their Saturday at the TYTO Parklands as Tasman Turtle’s Picnic Day rolled into the evening with the Bounce Back Bash.
The much-loved picnic event saw children exploring hands-on activities and neighbours catching up on the grass, conveying the simple message of caring for the environment in a fun, relaxed setting. Locals then swapped picnic rugs for dancing shoes and gathered again for the Bounce Back Bash.
“We’ve had a wet season that kept everyone on edge, but days like this remind us why community matters,” Mayor Jayo said.
“Coming together, enjoying each other’s company and having a bit of fun is an important part of bouncing back.”
With music from Comfort Royale, Pete Cullen & the Hurt, and local band Last Chance , the atmosphere remained laid back, friendly and distinctly Hinchinbrook. Council thanked residents, volunteers, performers and staff for helping make the day and night such a success.
