Australia's Biggest Strawberry Pick'n Day

History Maker Entry — free. Your place in the world record attempt, your picking row, an empty punnet, and the full day on farm: the festival, the entertainment and the farm activities.

History Maker Plus, 500g — $10. All of the above, and you keep 500g of what you pick.

History Maker Plus, 1kg — $20. All of the above, and you keep 1kg of what you pick.

There's no adult or child price — anyone of any age can take any of the three. Parking is free.

World Record Attempt shirts and hats are $20 each and can be added when you book. Once the record is confirmed on the day, official World Record Holder shirts and hats go on sale at the farm and afterwards here on the website. The $10,000 eating challenge is a separate entry with its own fee — see the challenge page →

You don't have to. A free ticket puts you in the field, in the record attempt and in the count — nothing about the day is closed off to you.

The $10 and $20 tickets buy one thing: the strawberries you pick are yours to take home. We sell 1kg at our market stall for $20, so the $20 ticket is simply the fruit at its normal price, with a Guinness World Records™ attempt thrown in for nothing.

Yes — every person coming onto the farm needs their own ticket, including babies and small children. Guinness World Records™ counts verified ticket holders, so an unticketed person doesn't count towards the record.

The free Entry ticket exists so that costs never stop you bringing the whole family. Children must be supervised by an adult at all times.

No — and we get asked this a lot. Half of them will be gone before you get home. That's just what happens with fruit picked twenty minutes ago.

Whatever's left freezes beautifully. Hull them, spread them on a tray so they don't clump, then bag them once they're frozen — they'll keep for months and they're perfect for smoothies. Nothing goes to waste.

Not at all. You'll get a short briefing on the day covering exactly what to do, how to pick without damaging the plants, and what the adjudicator needs to see.

No. Everyone waits with an empty punnet until the whistle — that's what makes the attempt valid, and it's the moment the whole thing is built around.

Once the adjudicator calls time, the field stays open and you can keep picking for the rest of the day.

Want more than your ticket allowance? Extra punnets are on sale at the farm on the day — 1kg for $20, 500g for $10, the same as the ticket prices.

When you check in you'll be given an empty punnet — 1kg or 500g, matching the ticket you booked. You carry it into the field and wait with everyone else.

When the whistle goes for the record attempt, the whole field starts picking at once. On a Plus ticket you fill your punnet, get the lid closed, and it's yours to take home. A full 1kg punnet usually holds a kilo of fruit or a bit more.

Yes — with a History Maker Plus ticket. Once the official attempt is complete and verified, the 500g or 1kg you've picked is yours to take home.

You can add one when you book, or pick up a punnet at the farm on the day — 1kg $20, 500g $10.

Check-in opens at 8:00am, and we'd genuinely encourage you to use that early window. The official briefing starts at 10:00am and you need to be checked in, holding your punnet and standing in your row before it does.

Two hours sounds like plenty. It isn't, with a field this size coming through one gate. Arrive early, get scanned, then go and enjoy the coffee and the festival with time to spare — rather than sitting in a queue while the briefing happens without you.

Closed-in shoes, a hat, sunscreen and a water bottle. Field rows can be uneven, so leave the good shoes at home. Punnets and your row are provided.

The event runs rain or shine wherever it's safe to do so. If severe weather forces a change, all registered ticket holders will be notified by email and through our social channels.

11 Rosedale Road, Oakwood QLD 4670 — about 15 minutes from central Bundaberg. Free on-site parking is available and marshalled on the day.

Partly, and we'd rather be straight with you before you book. The picking rows themselves are not accessible. They're uneven farm ground with plastic matting and narrow gaps between beds — a wheelchair or a pram can't get down them safely.

Everything else is on flat, open ground: the festival area, the food vendors, the main stage for the eating challenge, and the farm gate stall.

If someone in your group uses a wheelchair, or you're bringing a pram, please message us before you book so we can talk through what will work on the day.

You qualify by video. Film yourself eating strawberries for one minute in a single unbroken take, weighing the fruit on camera before and after, post it publicly to Facebook or Instagram, then submit the link with a $10 entry fee. If you're selected to attempt the record live on the day, a further $300 reserves your spot on the stage.

There is no age limit — every challenger completes a health and safety declaration before competing, and entrants under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign. Full rules and the entry form →

Yes — cancellations are accepted up to 7 days before the event through Eventbrite. If your plans change, please release your spot so someone else can take it.
