As Elliot Apel prepares to represent Queensland at the Agricultural Shows Australia National Rural Ambassador Competition, we'd like to take a moment to recognise and thank him for the outstanding way he has represented the Queensland Rural Ambassador program throughout the past year.

With authenticity, humility and a genuine passion for rural Queensland, Elliot has been a wonderful ambassador for our communities and industries. Whether sharing his story, connecting with people across the state, or championing the opportunities that exist in rural and regional Queensland, he has done so with warmth, integrity and enthusiasm.
