JEANETTE Collis and Mary Lawson may live in Brisbane, but they reckon Toowoomba's annual Bush Christmas exhibition is the place to buy presents for the festive season.

“We come up here every year just for this show,” Ms Lawson said.

“They do a great job and it's good to support country people.”

The exhibition, held over the weekend at the Masonic Centre in Neil Street, showcased the creative work of rural and remote artisans.

From silver jewellery and ceramics to home-cooked Christmas cakes and condiments, the exhibition had something for everyone.

Organiser Liz McClymont was thrilled with the visitor turnout and the standard of work on show.

“There are some really talented people out there,” she said.
