Hudsons Circus
This circus is a real treat! So many awesome, entertaining acts that kept my eyes glued to the action. They are always travelling, so you need to keep your eye on their website for a show near you. We drove up to the Sunshine Coast for our show which was a nice drive. It is a two hour show with a short intermission and the time went so fast. They of course had silly clowns which the kids laughed at, screamed and loved, but there was lots for the adults too. I really enjoyed

Eat St Northshore
This is a place you need to go more than once! The food choices are epic and plentiful and everything looks delicious. I would put this in the under $20 category, but it is very hard to keep to a budget here. There are so many varieties of food from all over the world. So many choices. They also have free entertainment on stage you can enjoy, whilst you devour your feast. How cool. Once we finally decided on what we would like for dinner, we sat by the river to get out of the

Forgan Park - Lake Samsonvale
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

Hijinx Hotel
The Hijinx Hotel is a really fun venue full of challenge rooms. It is made up of multiple sets of 5 rooms designed for 2 - 6 players. I went with just my support worker and I think we did ok considering there was groups of parents and kids, and people who'd been before! We did struggle with some rooms as a group of two, but we were laughing so much and being so competitive that we didn’t care! You need to score as many points as you can in the time limit. You can play as ca

The Lookout Cafe
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

The Pink Flamingo Spiegeland
An Unforgettable Experience The Pink Flamingo Spiegeland is a hidden gem that I stumbled upon while browsing online. It offers an exciting mix of burlesque, cabaret, and circus performances in both Brisbane and the Gold Coast. From the moment you arrive, you feel like a VIP. The vibrant atmosphere, with its bright pink décor, sets the tone for something truly special. You can’t help but feel a buzz of excitement for the show ahead.
