The delicious buffet was put together by the Overlander Hotel chef.
Tonka said there was everything from the great Aussie pie to croissants, a hotpot and fresh fruit.
"I want to say a huge thank you to the Overlander Hotel for the fantastic buffet and service they supplied," Tonka said.
Irish dancers from Erin Dean's Dance School performed and Mr Tuppurainen supplied the music, while the LJ Hooker team sold raffle tickets.
The winners were Peter Brisbane who won a $50 meat voucher and Bronco's water bottle - the prize was kindly donated by Sunset Butchery.
Luke Duffield also won a raffle during the morning and was happy to receive a bottle of Irish Nectar.
Tonka is raising funds for This Is A Conversation Starter (TIACS) Foundation.
This Foundation was the Creation of the TRADEMUTT brightly coloured work wear range and social enterprise.
Money raised goes to fund men's mental health initiatives within the Mount Isa Region.
Tonka is not the first male to enter the prestigious Queen Quest competition.
Way back in 1999, Brett Peterson, who later became deputy mayor of Mount Isa, caused a stir as the first bloke to enter the competition.
Not only that, he became the first person in nearly two decades to win the 'double' after being announced Rodeo Queen and Charity Queen that year.
This year Tonka is up for the challenge.
