Gold Coast Whale Watching Weekend List

I wake as the sun peeks over the horizon, and into a rucksack I sling a simple change of clothes, beach attire, a good tome, and a few overnight essentials with haste. I boil the kettle and pour a steaming cup of coffee into my KeepCup, before hitting the road with fervour. Pointing my wheels south, I dash down the coast while my sleepy companions snooze in the backseat. more

TEDxBrisbane 2014 registrations now open

TEDxBrisbane has announced that registrations are now open to attend TEDxBrisbane 2014, and so begins the countdown to this inspiring event. In precisely 52 days from today, the wonderful Brisbane Powerhouse will once again be teeming with hundreds of people from the TEDxBrisbane community.

Garrison Town takes you back to Brisbane in 1942

What is a typical day like for you? It’s likely that you wake up to the sound of your phone's alarm, before jumping on the train or bus to get to work, where you plug away at a computer all day, heading out to grab lunch and perhaps an afternoon coffee. And, if it’s a good day, you may even make your gym or yoga class after work. more

The Rainy Days Weekend List

The grey blanket that cloaked the sky last week delivered a dense downpour that made us want to pull the covers over our heads and remain snuggled up in bed for most of the day. If you don’t have to trudge into the office, or a dreary day falls on a play day, here are a few suggestions for starving off cabin fever and keeping cosy. more

The Farmer Appreciation Weekend List

Those of us with piled-up plates and food in the fridge have plenty to be thankful for. Not only should we be counting our blessings for having enough fodder to fill our bellies, but we should also be offering a metaphorical high-five to the farmers who have worked tirelessly to bring the goods from paddock to plate. more
