LAST week it was all about agriculture at the Brisbane Showgrounds, with Rural Discovery Day keeping kids entertained.
More than 1,200 Brisbane primary school children learned the truth that milk comes from cows, not cartons, as they converged on the Brisbane Showgrounds for the annual Royal Queensland Show (Ekka) Rural Discovery Day.
The students learned first-hand where their food comes from, as well as getting a sneak peak at what Queensland’s biggest classroom - The Ekka - has on offer this year.
Now in its 13th year, Rural Discovery Day continues to dispel the myths surrounding food origins with unique hands on experience that will see them working alongside real farmers.
It’s a day about championing Queensland’s agricultural industry and showing city students what their country counterparts already know - the essential role farmers play in feeding and clothing them every day.
