Thank you for celebrating 60 years of Bertie Beetle with us!

Bertie Beetle was created in the 1960's to rival the popular Freddo Frog. He first appeared in the Hoadley's Chocolate Showbag in 1963 and into the hearts of Australians. 60 years later, Bertie Beetle is a firm favourite amongst show go-ers.

In 2023, we celebrated Bertie at the shows with a new showbag, bringing back the famous egg-cups, special Bertie Birthday Cards, our fan favourite Spin & Win prize wheel and SO much more. We hope you loved celebrating with us and here's to another 60 years of Bertie Beetle!
