The Royal Queensland Show, or the Ekka as it is fondly known, holds a special place in Queensland's cultural heritage and in the hearts of all Queenslanders. The Ekka continues to be Queensland's biggest and most loved annual event and still achieves its aim of connecting Queenslanders of all ages, from the country to the city and from all walks of life. Every year it represents an opportunity for

our members to gather socially, harness business opportunities, exchange ideas and innovations and showcase our state's agricultural, and industrial products and initiatives to the people of Queensland and national and international visitors.

🧀 Teachers from across Queensland are swapping the classroom for cheesemaking this week as they take part in the RNA Teachers Cheese Making Workshops.

29 teachers from 19 schools are learning the art of crafting camembert and blue cheese under the guidance of renowned cheesemaker Russell Smith.

The hands-on workshops give educators the skills and confidence to help students create show-quality entries for our Student Made Cheese Competition presented by Queensland Government later this year.
