Mulch Minions Trail 2021

Take part in the 2021 Mulch Minion Trail and discover a quaint slice of the Northern Gold Coast.

I stumbled across the Mulch Minions Trail surfing Facebook last year, unfortunately I didn’t make it out last year but it is on hit list this year! It looks like some much fun and this beautiful part of the Gold Coast is a great spot to visit with your toddler.

All photos and information on this page have been sourced from Exit 38 Tourism. Make sure you check them out on Facebook.

Around the full moon in October (also known as the Harvest Moon) is THE best time to spot Mulch Minions in the cane fields! The Mulch Minion Trail runs from Monday, 27th September to Monday 4th of October.

The Mulch Minions can be seen around the suburbs of Alberton and Jacobs Well, with some infrequent sightings along the main road that connects the two areas.
