This Weekend May 15-17

With COVID-19 restrictions being lifted this weekend there are so many ways to get out and about and enjoy Brisbane's beautiful autumn weather (as of midnight on Friday May 15th). From playgrounds to BBQ spots and walks, hikes, drives and day trips within 150km of where you live, as well as some online shows and venues that have re-opened for in-house dining for 10 guests, we've included a whole bunch of ideas and activities to make the most of the weekend whilst following social distancing and staying safe.
