It highlights Beef Australia’s partnership with a broad section of Central Queensland’s businesses during and on the lead up to the main event, May 2-8. Beef Australia invited Bishop Michael to share a few words and give a blessing. Bishop spoke about how great it was to have the premier event of its kind in the Southern Hemisphere, which offered, ‘a week of beautiful warm weather, fun, entertainment, culture, and the best beef on the hoof and on the plate’ right here in Rockhampton. He commended the work and collaboration of all present in their efforts to support Beef 2021. In conclusion, he gave a blessing to the local businesses in attendance and a safe and successful Beef 2021 moving forward.
