Tutu Tuesday in Tully, Queensland: A Tutu-tastic Adventure #tututuesday
G'day, fashionistas and tutu-lovers! It's your girl, Amelia, back with another dose of dance and fashion inspiration. This week, we're taking Tutu Tuesday to the tropical paradise of Tully, Queensland! Now, you might be thinking, "Tully? Isn't that known for its sugar cane, not its swans?" And you'd be right, Tully is renowned for its lush greenery and delicious sugar cane, but let's be honest, with a little creativity, you can make a tutu work anywhere. And believe me, after my adventures in Tully, you'll be seeing this beautiful little town in a whole new light.
First things first, the outfit. I wanted to keep things light and airy, just like the Queensland climate. I chose a dreamy, soft pink tulle tutu - think a cloud in a dress. A light and floaty tutu like this really reflects the airy nature of ballet. This one wasn't just any tutu either - I paired it with a chic black crop top, adding a touch of sophistication. Then, of course, you gotta have the right shoes! I kept my feet cool and comfortable with some sleek, leather ballet flats, adding a touch of modern flair. You'll be seeing this outfit everywhere you look in Tully, just add a fresh floral crown for ultimate beachy vibes!
So, where did I go with my Tutu Tuesday adventure in Tully? Firstly, I headed to the iconic Tully Sugar Mill, a monument to this town's industrial heritage. It might sound unusual to think of ballet and sugar mills, but there's something magical about combining the sweetness of sugar with the delicate grace of a tutu! I found myself twirling amongst the towering sugar cane fields, the sun filtering through the leaves, creating a mesmerizing spectacle. It was like a real-life "Sugar Plum Fairy" scene.
Then it was onto the heart of Tully - the Tully River! This majestic body of water has its fair share of history and legend. I found myself captivated by its sheer beauty and its calming presence. A tutu is all about movement, but here, by the river, it felt almost poetic. There is no better way to explore Tully River than via the stunning riverboat cruise - they even offer the opportunity for a tutu-themed photo shoot (just saying!).
But, hold up, the day wasn't over! I simply had to venture to the enchanting Tully Gorge National Park! Imagine it: the turquoise waters, towering cliffs, the sound of birdsong in the air... Oh, and a tulle skirt twirling through it all. You have to be mindful of the wilderness, though - not all areas are suited for tutus and tutus and hiking do not make the best combination, I am here to tell you that! I opted to enjoy a gentle walk amongst the trails. A gentle, whimsical twirl as the sun peeked through the trees, what's not to love? If there is one thing you'll learn in Tully, it's that there is always an element of surprise waiting around the next bend!
Overall, my Tutu Tuesday in Tully was a real adventure. You can be confident that whether you're a dance enthusiast, a fashionista, or just looking for a bit of fun and whimsy, a trip to Tully will leave you captivated. But just remember - it's all about rocking that Tutu, finding those unexpected opportunities for twirling, and capturing memories you'll treasure. Don't forget to tag #tututuesday, #tulli, and #queensland in your pics. I'm so excited to see where your tutu takes you!
