Mareeba Shire celebrates Seniors Month with free morning teas across the region

Mareeba Shire Council is hosting a series of free Seniors Morning Teas across the shire during October 2026 to celebrate Seniors Month. The main Mareeba Seniors Morning Tea on Friday 16 October is fully booked, with attendees enjoying an information expo, morning tea, live entertainment and games.

Additional events are being held in communities across the shire, including Kuranda Neighbourhood Centre, Irvinebank, Dimbulah, Julatten, and Mount Molloy, each offering morning tea and entertainment such as art workshops, musical bingo, songs and games.

The events are supported by the Queensland Government and Council on the Ageing (COTA) Queensland. Mayor Angela Toppin noted the strong interest from local seniors and described the month as an opportunity to recognise the valuable contribution older people make to communities.
