Emu Park Lions Oktoberfest is reputedly one of the best in Australia. Held in the small town of Emu Park, Queensland (near Yeppoon and Rockhampton) this event is the main fund-raising activity for the Emu Park Lions.

The 35+ members of the club are assisted by dozens of volunteers from other clubs in Rockhampton, Yeppoon, Gracemere, Mount Morgan and others as well as scores of locals who all pitch in to ensure the success of the day. Typicaly a crowd of around 3,000 locals and visitors from other parts of Queensland and other parts of the world will descend on Emu Park, book out all the accommodation here and in Rockhampton and have a great time starting at around noon.

The day will resound to the music of the Kalander band and many other local and imported acts. Food will include Tradional German potato pancakes (Kartofellpoufers), German sausages, sauerkraut, potato salad and of course good old Emu Park style steak-burgers made with locally produced beef. We could go on and on about the many types of German beers, the wine, the fun and so muck more, but what you realy need to do is as “Molly Meldrum” would say, “Do yourself a favour”, and turn up for one of the greatest events anywhere has to offer.

We expect the winners of the celebrity challange to face up for a showdown to prove their worth against new challenger, The souvineer and gift shop will again sell beer steins to get filled with a pint or two of great beer. Also all the popular items such as stubby holders and much more will be on sale.

If you intend to travel from Rockhampton or Yeppoon to Emu Park for the event, there will be regular bus services offered by Rockhampton based “Youngs”. Make sure if you intend to travel to Emu Park and will be looking for accommodation, only the quick will get to stay here. All the rest will need to book in Rockhampton and make travel arrangements to get to Emu Park on the day.
