The Educational Trailer at the Burdekin Water Festival was a tremendous success, drawing in over 100 visitors who participated in the interactive displays, games, and the thrilling virtual reef experience. The hands-on activities offered a fun and engaging way for locals to learn about environmental management and pest control, leaving a lasting impression on attendees.
Following the festival, the trailer made another appearance at Plantation Park on Sunday, 15 September 2024, alongside three other council-funded initiatives. The event ran from 8:00am to 12:00pm, with live demonstrations showcasing innovative solutions to environmental challenges. Visitors were treated to an array of interactive displays, highlighting sustainable practices and how the Burdekin community can contribute to better environmental outcomes.
Mayor Pierina Dalle Cort expressed her delight at the strong turnout and public interest.
"It was wonderful to see so many people engaging with these important issues," she said.
“The trailer’s interactive demonstrations really emphasised how critical it is for all of us to take responsibility for managing our environment."
The event proved to be a fantastic educational experience for families and individuals alike.
