Bush Christmas started in 1996 when a group of women in Western Queensland saw talent lying unnoticed in rural and remote areas.

Liz McClymont was one of the founding members of Bush Christmas back in 1996. When she lived in Western Queensland, she was a member of 'Outback Creations' in Cunnamulla where local artisans sold their works. Encouraged by the success of 'Outback Creations', it became obvious that rural artisans needed another opportunity to showcase the talent from the bush that is not often seen away from its origin.​ And so Liz and three others founded the Bush Christmas Exhibition held in Toowoomba.

The current Bush Christmas organiser, Wendy Allen was one of the founding members of ‘Outback Creations’ in Western Queensland. Before moving to the Darling Downs, Wendy Allen & Liz McClymont both lived in Western Queensland on properties in the Cunnamulla area and had a lot in common, including having children in the same School of Distance  Education class.

From 1996, Liz continued to run the very successful Bush Christmas Exhibition for 25 years, supporting rural and regional artists and gourmet producers. Success at Bush Christmas has encouraged many to further develop their skills and enabled them to build confidence in their artistic and creative ability.

Wendy Allen took over the reins in 2022 after assisting Liz with the marketing and logistics of Bush Christmas from 2015 – 2021.

Wendy is dedicated to continuing to support rural and regional artisans and gourmet producers and offering quality handmade gifts and goodies to patrons at the Bush Christmas Exhibition.
​
It is hoped that this wonderful exhibition with amazing gourmet creations and works from our rural artisans, attended by thousands each year, continues from strength to strength with gifts and goodies finding their way under Christmas trees all over the nation and overseas.
