Kids

For the kid who stops to watch every passing fire truck, Bribie Island’s Emergency Services Expo deserves a spot on the holiday calendar.

Imagine having GOMA before the crowds arrive, with the volume turned down.

If your child has ever corrected your pronunciation of a dinosaur you didn’t know existed, Queensland Museum has your morning sorted.

There’s a stuffed dodo wandering a museum after dark, a detective investigating farts, and The Listies have been given a Spiegeltent. Proceed accordingly.

Finally, the Brisbane ibis gets the literary recognition it deserves.

Make room on the fridge. The September collection is about to drop.

For the child whose favourite word isn’t “why?” so much as “but HOW?”

There are mini-beasts waiting to be investigated these September school holidays, and kids are being handed the detective work.

Wet shoes, a towel over the car seat and someone insisting they nearly stayed on the paddle board.

That basketball bouncing down the hallway can officially become someone else’s problem.

Apparently the Kangaroo Point Cliffs are more appealing when someone lets you abseil down them.

School holidays have officially gone full Bluey. 💙🐾
