We’re incredibly proud to be supporting the Loud and Clear QLD Conference and Dance Party this year!

This year’s theme, Power in Action: Be Bold. Be Heard. Be the Change., is such a powerful message and one we’re very proud to support.

With an inspiring line-up of guest speakers, plenty of opportunities to connect and learn, and what looks set to be a seriously fun Dance Party on Friday night, it’s going to be a wonderful few days.

Loud and Clear QLD does incredible work for people with disability, their families, supporters and carers, and we’re proud to play a part in helping make this special event possible.

As a Community Bank, up to 80% of our profits are returned directly to our local community, supporting important initiatives and events just like this one that help our community connect, grow and thrive.

And that all starts with our customers. Thank you to everyone who chooses to bank with us - your banking helps make community support like this possible.

Only 2 days to go until the Loud and Clear Qld Conference and Dance Party - and it’s starting to feel very real!

Get ready for two incredible days of connection, conversation, fun and celebration as we come together for Power in Action: Be Heard. Be Bold. Be the Change.

Whether you’re coming along to learn something new, have your voice heard, meet new people, try something different or hit the dance floor, we can’t wait to welcome you.

Two days out - what are you most looking forward to: the speakers, the Come & Try activities, meeting new people… or the Dance Party?

🌿 Staying local this long weekend? Here’s your Woombye hit list!

There’s something pretty special about a long weekend spent close to home - especially when home has great coffee, great food and plenty of places to slow down and enjoy yourself.

So, if you’re wondering what to do around Woombye this weekend, we’ve put together a few ideas. 👇

☕ START WITH COFFEE + BREAKFAST
Take your pick! Head into town for breakfast or your morning coffee at Grounded Woombye, Kimnat Cafe or Frankie’s Woombye.

🥐 DO A WOOMBYE BAKERY RUN
A long weekend is an excellent excuse for a pie, pastry or something sweet from Woombye Bakery. Bonus points if you take it somewhere sunny and make a picnic of it.

🌿 SLOW DOWN + EXPLORE
Take a drive through our beautiful hinterland, wander around Woombye, browse local businesses and enjoy having nowhere you need to rush off to.

🍸 MAKE AN AFTERNOON OF IT
Drop into Sunshine & Son’s Distillery Door on Nambour Connection Road and discover another local Woombye gem.

🏉 CATCH THE NRL GRAND FINAL
Sunday night plans = sorted. The Woombye Pub will have the NRL Grand Final playing live and loud - grab a table, order dinner and settle in for the game.

🍕 DINNER, WOOMBYE STYLE
Keep it local for dinner with pizza from Margherita Pizzeria, a meal at The Woombye Pub, or grab your favourite local takeaway.

❤️ AND MOST IMPORTANTLY… SUPPORT LOCAL

Long weekends are a great opportunity to explore the businesses right on our doorstep. Every coffee, meal, takeaway and local purchase helps keep our little community thriving.
