Missed their Melbourne pop-up, so when it turned up in Sydney, obviously had to take the family of three in for a proper old-school photo. $9 a session, vintage style, card or Apple Pay. You get 3 photos taken, and walk away with 2 printed photo strips straight away. Location’s right on Gould Street in […]
David Hockney Bigger & Closer Exhibition Sydney
I thought it would be packed. It wasn’t, and the experience was far better than I expected. I only wanted somewhere with air con where I could sit and zone out for a while. By coincidence that turned into an immersive art exhibition I’d been waiting for. It isn’t one long burst of dazzling visuals, […]
Melbourne’s Halloween Event at Luna Park 2026 Reviews
Single ticket $79, two tickets $158. Compared to what you actually get, it feels a bit steep. The popular night-session rides and haunted houses had decent queues, some attractions stop taking queues after 9pm, so if you want to hit everything you need to time it carefully. Haunted houses don’t need a separate ticket, you […]
Giant Pink Rubber Duck In Brisbane – Where To See It, Times And Tips (2026)
There’s a five-storey pink duck floating on the Brisbane River right now. I went to New Farm to see the jacarandas and ran into it by accident. Everyone around me had stopped to take photos, and one person was filming a video report. I think it was the first day it was out. It’s free, […]
Seaside Stroller Tour Reviews
I went to the Seaside Stroller Tour at the Australian National Maritime Museum, and I loved it! It’s a monthly program for babies from 0 to 18 months and their carers, with a guided tour of the exhibitions followed by sensory playtime. It costs $25 per adult when I booked, babies are free, and a […]
Sculpture by the Sea Bondi 2026 Reviews
Beautiful weather today, and the clouds were something else. Sculpture by the Sea is one of my favourite things in Sydney every year, so I went on Sunday, even though Sunday was packed. The walk runs along the coastal path from Bondi Beach to Tamarama Beach, about two kilometres one way. There’s a bit of […]
Spider-Man pop-up at Circular Quay
Thanks to the school holidays, I caught the Spider-Man pop-up, hehe. It was free, and it was already busy by 11. The event was free and you could walk straight in. By the time we got there at 11am there were already lots of people. It was a very sunny day, so bring an umbrella […]
Metro Tunnel Passport Challenge – Stamping All Five Melbourne Stations
Collecting stamps at the new Metro stations was so much fun! A classmate’s mum shared the Metro Tunnel Passport Challenge, and I went straight out with my kid to try it. I missed the badge pick-up in January because I was overseas, so this time I got to explore the new stations and collect stamps […]
SEA LIFE Melbourne Animal Crossing Review – Stamp Rally, Isabelle Meet and Greet and What’s Included
SEA LIFE Melbourne Aquarium has teamed up with Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and as an Animal Crossing player there was no way I was missing it! This isn’t just a few character standees dotted around, the whole aquarium has Animal Crossing hiding in it, from the decorations to the music. Everywhere you walk the game’s […]
The Curious World of Pamela Allen Review – Free Interactive Kids’ Exhibition at the State Library of NSW
My feet were swollen like steamed buns by the time I got home, but what a happy weekend it was! The State Library of NSW has a Pamela Allen exhibition on at the moment, in the Macquarie Street building, and I went in having never read one of her books until the day before. Her […]
