Bundaberg Brewed Drinks reveals limited-edition drink celebrating 166 years of Queensland

Premier Crisafulli has revealed his latest plan to get Queenslanders excited, ahead of 2025 Queensland Day celebrations.

Premier David Crisafulli pulled out all the bells and whistles when he rolled into Bundaberg on Monday, eager to share his latest vision for Queensland.

With Queensland Day less than a month away, the Premier showed up, horns blazing, in a brightly coloured combi, ready to announce the ‘All the Best’ campaign, which he said would celebrate all the things that make living in the Sunshine State great.

Mr Crisafulli was joined by MP Steven Bennett at the Barrel at Bundaberg Brewed Drinks to kickstart Queensland Day celebrations.

One hundred and sixty-six years ago, on June 6 1859, Queensland broke off from New South Wales, which is “worth celebrating”, he said.

“This year I want Queenslanders to get excited about celebrating Queensland Day.”

Mr Bennett said it was important to recognise the contributions Bundaberg, and communities like it, make to the State, through local agriculture, manufacturing and tourism.

“It’s about where we live, where we love and where we raise of families”.

“Tell us why you love living here,” he said.
