Ruth Haywood said that Kingaroy was a good recruiting ground, especially for CQU Bundaberg.

"The students appear well educated about Bundaberg campus and its offerings," she said, "and we were very busy on the night".

The careers road show moves on to Warwick, Stanthorpe and the western Darling Downs from next Monday.

"If I thought Kingaroy was chilly, how is it going to be in that area," said Tony Gubbins.
