📣 There have been a few recent changes to local ma 📣 There have been a few recent changes to local markets: – We’ve been advised that the Julatten Markets did not go ahead in April, as the event is currently changing hands. These markets have traditionally been held on the third Sunday from April to December, and it’s hoped they’ll return soon under new management 🤞 – The Dimbulah QCWA Markets will no longer run monthly. The next market will be held in May at the Dimbulah Lions Festival. – The Yungaburra markets will be held this Sunday 26th April instead of Saturday 25th, out of respect for ANZAC Day commemorations. As always, we recommend checking directly with event organisers or their social media pages before heading out, as plans can change. — What’s On Tablelands
