Picnic for Nature

Picnic for Nature is a statewide initiative by the Nature Conservation Council of NSW. Save our Macleay River are delighted to have secured a stall at the Gladstone Riverside Markets.

Come and visit our stall on the riverbank and meet those who are committed to saving the beautiful Macleay River, seeking to raise awareness of the current and potential future pollution in the Macleay River Catchment.

Please join us and why not have a picnic in the park while you are there. You can bring your own or fill your picnic basket with all the market has to offer.

The market hosts quality, local, hand-picked stallholders featuring artists, ceramics, photographer; gourmet/fine foods including jams, local farm-fresh produce, preserves, chutneys and locally made muesli style products; as well as handmade soaps and locally produced organic body products, native plants and coffee.

There will be entertainment provided by talented, local musicians and performers. Come and enjoy the atmosphere and meet with your local environment group on the riverbank in the unique, historical village of Gladstone.

We hope to see you there on Sunday 20 October from 9am
