MEATing Centre Art Exhibition - There's
Something About Our Landscape
The MEATing Centre, a ‘must see’
attraction of the EKKA for the past
6 years, uniquely showcases
Queensland’s primary industries.
The EKKA is Brisbane’s opportunity
for the city to meet the bush and
where better to do that than the
MEATing Centre.
With around 250,000 visitors the
MEATing Centre is a great
opportunity to educate urban
audiences about rural life and
living, promote the importance and
value of primary industries and
showcase fabulous food and fibre
products through its quality
restaurant, casual café, fashion
parades and interactive displays.
It’s also a popular venue for those
who have travelled from the ‘bush’
to catch up and relax, and learn
something new at the cooking
demonstrations and informative
on-stage presentations run over the
10 days of the EKKA.
The diversity of the MEATing centre
captures the imagination of the
young and old alike. With
photographs depicting life on the
land reaching from floor to ceiling,
daily wool and leather fashion
parades, shearing demonstrations,
and the fun of the celebrity cooking
competition, the atmosphere is set
for a great experience. All of this
can be enjoyed from the MEATing
Centre restaurant where sumptuous
steaks, delicious meals, cold beer
and outstanding service are always
guaranteed.
Kids love the MEATing centre too
where they can play with a model
farm with animals, yards, sheds and
tractors, a colouring and play dough
centre, touch and feel displays and
touch screen quizzes for the older
kids (and the kids at heart).
AgForce Queensland has been the
driving force behind the MEATing
Centre and has seen it grow in
popularity and recognition. AgForce
is proud to be the only industry
member organization still involved
in staging a major promotion of
primary industries at the EKKA. But
it could not be possible without its
major partners and sponsorship.
AgForce’s key partnership with Meat
& Livestock Australia has seen the
MEATing Centre reach a new level of
experience for visitors.
The mix of sponsors and diversity of
activities means that the MEATing
Centre has something for everyone.
Every year it has attracted
excellent media coverage through
radio, television and newspaper
articles.
