Fashions on the Field presented by Bell & Moir Toyota
Fashions on the Field is a big part of the Julia Creek Dirt n Dust Race Day! The quality of fashions we continue to see each year during this event are simply stunning, they wouldn’t be out of place at Flemington or Dubai! But don’t be scared, there will be others that are there exhausted from the Adventure Run who have only just managed to pull on clean clothes. Julia Creek is the sort of town where nothing is out of place.
Fashion Theme – East Meets North West
Think strong designs inspired by the desert and earthy colours like Moroccon spices with pops of bright jewel tones.
