BRISBANE | SUNSHINE COAST | GOLD COAST
Your COMPLETE guide to the Winter school holidays in Brisbane, Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast is right here!
Welcome to the cosiest school holidays of the year!
Winter is here, and in Queensland that means something pretty special — crisp mornings, sunny blue-sky days, and just enough chill in the air to finally dig out the good jumpers.
It’s honestly the best time of year to get out and explore, and we’ve done all the hard work to help you make the most of it. Our Winter School Holiday Guide is packed with fun things to do across southeast Queensland — Brisbane, the Sunshine Coast and the Gold Coast.
From indoor adventures and creative workshops to outdoor thrills that are so much better without the summer heat, you’ll find something for every kind of kid — the thrillseekers, the daydreamers, and the ones who just want a really good snack stop along the way.
To make planning easy, we’ve split the guide into three editions: Brisbane, Gold Coast and Sunshine Coast, so you can quickly find what’s happening near you and build a holiday plan that actually works for your family.
