On Wednesday, August 21, the annual breast cancer fundraiser held in the tiny town of Weengallon between Goondiwindi and St George, raised $30,000 for breast cancer research and support programs.
Guests shopped in the morning while sipping on complimentary champagne from Bentleys Chartered Accounts in Brisbane.
Then they stepped into the Toowoomba Party Hire marquee, transformed into a blush of berry pink by the St Hilda's School, for a luscious lunch featuring the Goondiwindi grown Gooralie Pork.
NAB brought in Channel Country artist Annabel Tully, who took everyone on an emotional journey as she shared her story of surviving breast cancer twice.
The boisterous Rabobank Decorative Bra Art Auction set a record price when Weengallon farmer Doug Hemming paid $2500 for the painting Rosemary Carson made of his wife Jacque.
As another very successful Weengallon Pink Ladies Day drew to a close, co-ordinator Kellie Mitchell said she loved watching the joy the event brought to so many. "I'm fond of the age-old saying 'you only get out what you put in' and I feel rich with pride for our group's efforts."
