Welcome!

“BETTER IN BLACKALL” is now, beyond any doubt, and
has become a well-used phrase around a large slice of
Queensland.
Everything about this festival is homegrown and as usual very
proudly presented to you as a celebration of who we are, where
we are. You will be, I am sure left in no doubt as to why we are. This
festival was conceived and nurtured to be what it is today under the
banner of the Heartland Festival, a celebration of our people, arts and culture. The Better in
Blackall Festival is now the continued version of that same concept.
The Blackall Tambo region is steeped in the unique Australian bush heritage and is literally
home to the very first two towns in western Queensland (both towns are over 150 years old) to
start that culture that has helped define this Nation of ours what it is today.
For example, it is only here in the Blackall-Tambo Region, that we can boast we are the
birthplace of the Australasian Circus industry, thanks to the Perry Brothers and the wonderful
hard work and vision of one young Blackall girl. Mary Ellen Atkins, a previous resident of
Blackall, ran away to join the Perry Bros Circus and went on to spawn so many other famous
Australian circus troupes.
Our base product is, and will always be, amongst the world’s best broadacre pastoral produce,
wool, beef, meat sheep, goats, horses and our greatest asset is beyond doubt, our people.
The friendly, honest, caring, resilient and proud community of the Blackall Tambo region, in
true country hospitality, are very keen to welcome you to the 2021 BETTER IN BLACKALL
festival so you can be a part of what we are all about.
Please, relax and help us celebrate, thanks to the never-ending hard work of the wonderfully
engaged Better in Blackall Festival committee.

Mayor
Blackall-Tambo Regional Council

Message from the Premier & Minister
Welcome to Blackall and to the Better in Blackall Festival, as
we continue to celebrate the Year of Outback Tourism.
This four-day festival brings to life the imagery created by the
#betterinblackall Instagram movement, which promotes and
celebrates the heritage of Blackall, while adding value to the
Matilda Way. There are plenty of arts and cultural experiences
and local produce to enjoy.
Queensland’s Outback is one of Australia’s most beautiful
regions, and the Year of Outback Tourism continues to
showcase its many experiences, opportunities to explore, and
amazing flora and fauna. It is also a great opportunity to meet
many wonderful Queenslanders along the way! The Hon Annastacia
Palaszczuk MP
At this time, we are all mindful of the economic challenges Premier of Queensland
of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic. The Queensland
Government continues to work with Queenslanders throughout
the State so we can unite and recover for Queensland jobs.
We have strengthened our support for the tourism industry
because it is important to Blackall, to Outback Queensland
and to the Queensland economy. Tourism is a major industry
for Queensland, and a strong contributor for Outback
Queensland’s regional economy. That is why the Queensland
Government is delighted to work with Better in Blackall
Incorporated. Together, we are supporting Queenslanders and
creating jobs for Queenslanders.
More than 50 events and experiences have been supported by
the Queensland Government’s Year of Outback Tourism Events
Program, and these emphasise the outstanding choice offered
by Outback Queensland, for Queenslanders and for visitors to
our great State. The Hon Stirling
Hinchliffe MP
We hope you enjoy the Better in Blackall Festival, along with Minister for Tourism
Industry Development and
everything else Blackall has to offer.
