Before the end-of-year chaos properly kicks in, spring hands us this golden little window — a chance to slow down, get outside, and remember exactly why we’re lucky enough to call Queensland home. (Before the heat turns up and the tarmac starts to blister, that is.) The days are warm, the sky’s doing its best postcard impression, and every weekend feels like it’s issuing a road-trip side quest.
Whether you’re plotting the next family getaway or just need an excuse to leave the house, we’ve got you.
We get set for splashier days, diving into Shapland Swim School’s eight decades of custom teaching that’s created a safer, smarter way to learn to swim.
We visit Twinkle Academy’s new Robina centre, where little minds build big futures through research-backed tutoring methods — from early-toddler play to high-school mastery.
If you only read one thing this issue, make it our big Hinterland Special on page 23. We’ve done the legwork — the eating, the exploring, the asking-too-many-questions — so you don’t have to.
We head to Tamborine Mountain College to find out how this exceptional college ensures every child starts at the top of the mountain. We hitch a ride with BOS Tours to find out why family holidays are better when someone else does the driving. And we check into O’Reilly’s Rainforest Retreat to see why it’s the perfect base for exploring the rainforest with the whole family in tow.
And of course, all the usual suspects are here too — the region’s best kids’ activities, news, reviews and features, all bundled into one properly cracking spring issue.
So, grab a cuppa while it’s still hot, steal twenty minutes that are entirely yours, and enjoy the old-fashioned pleasure of real paper pages.
Here’s to warmer days, rainforest adventures, and making the most of the best season on the calendar.
