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.
