Channel Country Ladies Day – Quilpie

Inspiration in isolation

Quilpie, Western Queensland – 15 – 17 October 2021

The Channel Country Ladies Day was started in 2012 by two women who recognised the absence of opportunities for women in western Queensland to get together and be women for the weekend.

It is for all women in the Channel Country, whether you live in a small town or on a large pastoral station. It is for women of all ages to come together and enjoy a relaxing and uplifting break from the demands of life in the bush. We have had women from 14 through to 90 whom have all taken away something from the weekend.

The Channel Country Ladies Day developed in 2012 to bring women together from across a large geographic area to socially connect as social isolation is a significant issue for women in the remote western Queensland region. It offers women a platform and safe environment to openly share and discuss emotions, access women’s health while at the same time have fun and enjoyment, form new friendships through creative engaged arts experiences reducing social isolation and increasing emotional wellbeing. The Channel Country Ladies Day is now an annual event as a means of providing women from sheep and beef properties and towns across the Queensland Channel Country vast region, along with those in agricultural, health, arts service industries and corporates, to be inspired and empowered to better lead in their regions and better understand themselves.
