A cuppa for a very special milestone! ☕🎉

Last Saturday our wonderful volunteers at Royal Bull's Head Inn swapped their usual tasks for teapots, helping our neighbours at Drayton State School celebrate an extraordinary milestone — 175 years as Queensland's oldest continually operating state school!

The community turned out in force, including Toowoomba Mayor Geoff McDonald, Deputy Mayor Rebecca Vonhoff, and councillors, Toowoomba Region all enjoying a good cuppa, scones, jam and cream served up in true Heritage Inn style.

It was a wonderful afternoon celebrating history, community and connection — and we loved being part of it. Congratulations Drayton State School on 175 remarkable years! 🎂
