Grazing at the Watering Hole tickets now available

Following a sold-out event in 2018, Grazing at the Watering Hole will be held on Saturday, March 13 and will grow from 120 to 200 guests in 2021.

Set in front of Thallon's towering grain silos and their spectacular large-scale mural titled "The Watering Hole" by Queensland artists Drapl The Zookeeper, the event offers a relaxed country feel amongst a spectacular setting.

The COVID Safe event aims to showcase and support local producers and offer a truly local and unique night out for the Thallon community and visitors.

Thallon Progress Association secretary Leanne Brosnan said the event will once again feature local musicians "When Sonny Getz Blue" and a live art demonstration by silo artist Drapl (Travis Vinson).

"This year we will have all the wonderful elements that made the first event such a success with the addition of a fabulous fireworks display to round out the evening," she said.

"After years of drought and then COVID restrictions, this event gives people a chance to come together and celebrate what will hopefully be a better year for all of us."

Ms Brosnan said the importance of events such as Grazing at the Watering Hole to the Thallon community and surrounding district cannot be overstated.

"They bring the community together and allow us to share what is special about our beautiful little town," she said.

"They lift spirits and raise the profile of the community, which in turn attracts future visitors and the associated economic benefit."

Funded under the Queensland government's Year of Outback Tourism Events Program, any profits wfrom the event will go to the Thallon Progress Association to fund future community projects and events.
