WHAT WE LOVED THIS WEEK
Victoria Park Playground is a quirky imaginative play area with a rustic country theme attached to the Victoria Park golfing complex in Herston.
BUSH WALKS
Toohey Forest is remarkable for the fact that at only 10km from the CBD, here is a 260 ha preserved sample of the forest vegetation that once covered most of Brisbane.
In summer, this bush and heathland, part of the landscape mosaic of the Mountain to Mangroves nature corridor, makes a wonderfully breezy retreat
Walkers have a choice between the 1km Whites Hill circuit or the 2km Sankey’s Mountain circuit, both through open eucalypt forest and both relatively easy grade and suitable for strollers.
KIDS
How Cities Work is a fantastic, interactive family exhibition featuring a spectacular 2-metre-high cityscape
Enjoy a family night out for free at Manly’s monthly Movies in the Park
