Love thrills and chills for a fantastic price and excellent value?! Aussie World is really fun, and has a lot to offer for an adventurous day out with your support person. We were enticed by the Inclusion Day hosted by The Ability Collective . I saw their post on Facebook about it, and I wanted to go and support others with disabilities. They had little stalls all set up for disabled persons selling their hand crafted goodies to buy, which was really cool. You could enter t

🌈 HAPPY PRIDE MONTH! I was so excited to go to my very first pride festival. I'm in my 40s, but hey, better late than never, right?! This awesome festival is on annually at Pine Rivers Park in Strathpine. The festival is filled with nothing but good vibes and colourful fun! There were fantastic markets to explore and many community services offering cool, free activities. We made some pins, a bracelet, got stickers and I even brought home beads to make another bracelet. I

On my bucket list was always to see my first ballet. With support now, I was really excited and determined to go and do it! I decided to treat myself for a Christmas present to see The Nutcracker at QPAC's Playhouse, which is in December annually. We had a delicious cheese board and a beverage beforehand, as we waited with anticipation for the performance. It's always a nice opportunity to dress a little fancier than usual too! The choreography was so beautiful that I found

Need a relaxing self care day? This beautiful picnic area at Forgan Park is perfect for some lunch outside in the fresh air. The drive there is nice too. Close to the suburbs, but you feel much further out than you actually are. If you like photography you can really take some gorgeous shots here. We stopped at a local bakery on the way for a delicious chicken and salad roll, some drinks and a sweet treat. I packed along with me my picnic blanket, a small tray table, and a pa

We visited the Fo Guang Shan Chung Tian Temple for our very first time and what a beautiful and serene place. It felt so calming and an honour to even be there. The temple, gardens and statues spread throughout made you feel like you were in another time and place. There is quite a lot to see and do, with free activities and entertainment, classes or even a tea meditation you can pay to attend. We did a little calligraphy and played a new Buddhist card game with one of the d

Nestled amongst the sweeping country landscapes of the Sunshine Coast hinterland, is Maleny Botanic Gardens & Bird World . Full of super lush gardens, waterfalls and overlooking the magnificent Glass House Mountains. What a view! This place has so many gorgeous picnic spots and many walking trails amongst the flowers and lakes. Perfect way to unwind and feel like you're in another world. They have two major attractions here which are Farm Friends and Bird World. Farm Friends

Looking for a beautiful breakfast or lunch outing? I got you! The Lookout Cafe offers amazing views of a mango orchard and Mount Coonowrin right where you sit. The drive there was lovely, peaceful, and picturesque. It's the perfect spot if you need some self-care and a serotonin boost. There's nothing like fresh country air and beautiful scenery to help calm the mind. Delightful Breakfast and Lunch Options I enjoyed their reasonably priced eggs benedict, which is my favourit

I decided we just had to go and take a day trip to check out the Kalbar Sunflower Festival last weekend. With some planning, I was ready to embark on a bigger adventure than our usual close attractions. Wow! What a beautiful day we had! Despite the long drive, it was incredibly worth it. Anticipation and Arrival As soon as we spotted the sunflowers from a distance, I was so excited! Wow! The Beauty of Sunflowers My highlights of the day included the stunning beauty of the su
