Richard Kinnon has been getting out and about in Brisbane. One of the highlights was the opportunity to showcase Outback Pioneers to all the travel agents who attended @outbackqueensland's Outback Muster event. The event was completely booked out and was a great success. Word on the street is Queensland's Outback is the place to visit in 2021!
With Richard is Matt Bron, Director - Outback & Country Queensland, Tourism and Events Queensland.
