Photos from the inaugural Backpacking Queensland Ball


The who’s who of the Queensland backpacking industry, as well as visitors from neighbouring states,  gathered at the Marriott Hotel in Brisbane last week for the inaugural Backpacking Queensland Ball.  

The theme was masquerade where 130 of the industry’s finest donned their best attire to network, party and score themselves some great prizes in the fundraising auction which contributed to profits in excess of $25,000.

    2. It was a fantastic night, even though I was on the wagon, and the generosity of those who donated product to the auction was particularly creditable.Those who made the effort to organise the shebang did a marvellous job: can`t wait for next years offering. Most dressed elaborately in flash outfits, with Nathan ‘Jucy’ Joyce most outlandish as a mime artist. Classic.

    Also, great to see a prominent booking agency not only attending in numbers but making a very generous contribution to BQ by way of winning the Noosa accommodation bidding in spectacular fashion.

    Now we`ve held our first ball, I hope that BQ can look at working more closely with BOA, BOAV and BTAP (and other State and Federal bodies) to deliver a coherent East Coast Backpacking -industry policy to further the benefits to our members.
