FOR THE THIRD YEAR RUNNING, TONGALA IS HOSTING THE NOW ICONIC HAY BALE TRAIL.
This year, there will be 20 art installations using hay bales, with Disney characters taking centre stage.
The trail, which is about 1km long, will take visitors around Tongala, with the one-of-a-kind installations situated along the walk.
“Not only will visitors see the amazing art, but they will also get to see what Tongala has to offer,” committee leader Rhiannan Brennan said.
“Tongala might not be a town a lot of people rush to visit, but we have a lot to show, and this installation gives people a reason to come and check us out.
“It’s perfect for families and the elderly, and anyone else who is interested in some unique art.”
The concept of the trail started during COVID-19, when of the residents turned their hay bale into Bluey and Bingo from the children’s television show Bluey.
“It went viral and got a heap of traction so we thought we could do a few more and make it a Christmas hay bale trail,” Rhiannan said.
The installation will run from Friday, December 2 until January 2023, so there is plenty of time to check it out. For more information, head to the Tongala Hay Bale Trail’s Facebook page.
