The Burdekin Show returned this year livelier than ever, drawing a great crowd that showed just how much the community loves this event. The day was packed with entertainment and fun, proving once again why it’s such a highlight on the local calendar.
Burdekin Show Committee President Chris Lyne said that the committee are eternally grateful for not only the work of volunteers and helpers, but also the support shown by the community at the 2025 event.
"We're extremely grateful for the all sponsors and the Burdekin Council for helping to make this year's show possible," he said. "But also our volunteers—it couldn't have happened without them."
Months of hard work and late nights from the committee volunteers went into making the day happen, bringing the community together to enjoy one of the Burdekin's more modern local traditions. Lyne said providing that connection point for the community is what it's all about.
"The reason we exist is to serve the locals. It's detrimental to the community if these events don't happen," he said.
For Lyne, it's this connection that truly bonds communities in ways that lie beneath the surface.
"I hear a lot about 'resilience' in the community, and I never really understood what it meant until this year, when I realised it's about having a place for the community to get together and form connections with each other," said Lyne. "Then, in the tough times, you have people to lean on."
This year's Burdekin show not only brought the community together, but did it in the most fun-filled way possible. So, thank you, members of the Burdekin, for supporting the event the only way you know how, and thank you especially to the committee for putting on a show for the ages.
