Spring has Sprung!
Spring has officially sprung... and honestly, is there a better time to be out and about in southeast Queensland? The air is warmer, the days are brighter, and suddenly the whole region feels like it’s buzzing again. After months of chilly mornings, the spring holidays are the perfect excuse to soak up everything this beautiful part of the world has to offer.
Of course, parents everywhere know the soundtrack of the school holidays isn’t birdsong — it’s the chorus of “I’m bored” or “What are we doing today?” That’s where our huge school holiday guide comes in. Packed with adventures, workshops, shows, camps, and plenty of ways to burn energy (and maybe even sneak in some downtime for the grown-ups), it’s your goto for keeping kids entertained and happy these holidays. We’ve made things simple by splitting the guide into three editions: Brisbane, Gold Coast, and Sunshine Coast.
