Hundreds of festival-goers flocked to Emerald’s Pioneer Park for the crowning of the 2021 Sunflower Queen and Junior Princess.
There was an air of excitement as community members attended the 45th annual Central Highlands Easter Sunflower Festival after being cancelled in 2020 due to coronavirus.
Committee president Melanie McMaster said a “mammoth effort” was put in by the committee to see the festival go ahead, despite concerns raised following recent Queensland restrictions.
“We were a bit nervous earlier in the week with the restrictions being put in place but we’re really fortunate we were able to proceed with it,” she said.
