On Friday 13 March 2026, Toowoomba will host a night like no other. The Motherland National Conference is hosting a Gala Dinner bringing together more than 500 guests from around Australia - including rural mums and dads, businesses, and supporters, for an unforgettable evening of storytelling, connection, and celebration. With Olympic legend Anna Meares OAM as our keynote speaker, the night promises to inspire, uplift, and shine a light on the strength of rural families.
Guests will be treated to a three course dinner, two complimentary drinks, a fantastic keynote, guest speakers, live entertainment and an auction with incredible prizes.
The Gala Dinner is more than a dinner; it’s a heartfelt tribute to life on the land. It’s a chance to laugh, connect, and celebrate with people who truly understand the challenges and triumphs of rural motherhood and family life. It’s about honouring the women who hold communities together, and the families who stand proudly beside them.

Keynote Speaker: Anna Meares OAM
She’s a household name. An Olympic icon. Australia’s most decorated female track cyclist. But Anna Meares’ most powerful story isn’t just about medals and milestones. It’s about resilience, reinvention, and rising again when life knocks you down. It’s about opening her heart as a foster mum and later embracing motherhood with her daughter. It’s about courage, compassion, and finding strength in the hardest of seasons.
Anna will share a deeply personal story that speaks to every mother, every family, and every person who has ever had to start again. Her words will move you, uplift you, and remind you of the extraordinary strength we all carry within us.
