Voting is now open for the Mackay Isaac Tourism Awards people’s choice category and we are asking for your votes for the Wombat Festival.

We put our heart and soul into this event and are the only non-profit volunteer community group nominated. And we are up against some pretty tough competition.

You can vote multiple times - and you can vote from anywhere.

VOTES NOW OPEN - Vote for the Wombat Festival!

We’re so excited to share that the Wombat Festival has been nominated in the Mackay Isaac Tourism Awards – People’s Choice category!

We’re especially proud because we are the only not-for-profit, 100% volunteer-run (and smallest) group up against some of the biggest names in the tourism industry.

That makes every single vote from our community and supporters even more powerful.
