“I’m genuinely so excited to visit Tropical North Queensland, it’s such a special part of the country,” Mr Garnaut said.

“And of course, I’m looking forward to a visit to Cairns Central. The best of FNQ retail all in one place. Retail therapy never killed anyone!”

Renowned for her impeccable eye for detail and backed by decades of experience, Kathy Garnaut, mother of Elliot Garnaut, will also be on this year’s judging panel.

Celebrity stylist Elliot Garnaut will join the judging panel for the Cairns Super Carnival Fashions of the Field.

They will be joined by Rebecca Harding, a celebrated Australian model, who has graced campaigns for luxury brands such as Louis Vuitton, Piaget, Hugo Boss, and Alex Perry.
