Can first term really be over? I must have stepped in a time machine or something because it has just whooshed by. For those of you that are planning for the upcoming April school holidays in Melbourne I’ve put together a list of ideas for keeping the kids busy (and you sane). Bearing in mind…
The color and flamboyance of Luna Park contributes to the experience. Garish murals, luridly pink fairy floss and the looming face of Mister Moon whose mouth you enter to commence the fun combine to create family memories that will last.

This is such a fun event and I can’t wait to check it out with the kids! Shrek and Kung-Fu Panda are coming to the Rosebud Foreshore in this March and April this year at an Australian-first exhibition.

Australia has never seen anything like Jurassic World. More immersive theme park experience than museum exhibition visitors are transported to Isla Nublar as VIP guests where they meet a host of dinosaurs including Brachiosaurus and Tyrannosaurus rex. And I really do mean you meet a host of dinosaurs. This family has been pretty blessed when it…

Ghost the Musical delivered these to the max. What I hadn’t anticipated…
