What’s happening?

The Baker’s Duck, one of Toowoomba’s most popular artisan bakeries, has officially extended its trading hours to 4 PM, seven days a week. To celebrate, the bakery is running a limited-time giveaway, offering free pastries to ten lucky Instagram followers who tag a friend in their latest post.

Why it matters?
