Rural Discovery Day 2013
Thursday 23 May, 9:30am - 2pm

Due to overwhelming demand from schools there are no more places available for Rural Discovery Day

Do you know where your food comes from?

If you eat fresh food, wear a pair of jeans, or put fresh milk on your cereal then the primary industries are already important to you.

Rural Discovery Day is an educational day for primary students and celebrates Queensland's primary industries. It is held each year at the Showgrounds in May.

In a unique hands-on learning experience students milk cows, pot seeds, taste honey directly from a hive, discover where their food comes from, talk to real farmers, and taste some of the best produce Queensland has to offer.

Rural Discovery Day has been held at the RNA Showgrounds since 2003 and has proven to be an outstanding educational and entertaining event.  This is an opportunity to showcase primary industries to city students in the one location.

RNA Chief Executive Brendan Christou describes Rural Discovery Day as an example of the RNA's commitment and support to promoting Queensland's primary industries and the importance for children to develop an understanding of where their food and fibre comes from.
