For over 65 years, the Hervey Bay Local Ambulance Committee’s Annual Goods Wheel has been held on the Scarness Foreshore over the Christmas holidays. This year, the much-loved event will run from Saturday, December 20 to Saturday, January 3.

The evenings have become a tradition for many local families and holidaymakers. The event is held nightly from 7 pm (Except Christmas Day).

Tickets have not gone up in price for many years and are still just 50 cents each, with 100 tickets being sold before the wheel is spun. All winning ticket holders get to choose their own prize from the huge range on display. Prizes include toys, kitchen and homewares, linen, electrical items, camping, gardening, fishing, auto items, and so much more. All prizes are sourced and purchased locally by the Hervey Bay LAC. 

On Christmas Eve, Santa will make an appearance.

The Ambulance Goods Wheel could not run without support from local service clubs and groups, who volunteer their time each night to sell tickets.

Proceeds from the Goods Wheel support Queensland Ambulance through the Local Ambulance Committee.

This year, there will be a Community Engagement Van at the wheel, These Vans are being supplied for the use of Local Ambulance Committees to assist their communities to prepare for and prevent the occurrence of injury and illness through the delivery of community education and engagement programs such as CPR Awareness, RESQ Rooo’s, First Aid Awareness, Mental Fitness, Stop the Bleed and Snakes Alive.

Please note:

• All patrons are to bring their own chairs and/or picnic blankets.
• A limited number of prize winners will be allowed on the stage at one time.

The Hervey Bay Goods Wheel is the only one still running in Queensland! So come on down, bring your folding chairs and 50-cent pieces, and join in the fun.
