It's no secret, I love Queensland.
Truth be told, it took years of travelling and even living overseas to really appreciate my own state and my own country.
There are loads of places I would love to travel to and even live for a year, a couple at most. But Queensland will always be home.
One of the things I love the most, is that there is so much of the Sunshine State (okay, well usually it's Sunshiney, not too much lately), that everyone can access for free.
Here are a few of my favourite things:
The jetty at Sandgate/Shorncliffe. There's also a fab Robinson Crusoe-type playground for kids.
Brisbane/Ipswich councils regularly put on free events for residents. Miss 7 had her face painted for free (yes, she's a pussycat) at the opening of a motorway earlier this year. Actually most Queensland councils hosts free events throughout the year. They're usually well advertised. In this case, we received an invitation in our letterbox.
Mr 9 inhaled some free fairy floss...
And they climbed to the hearts' content ...
The Ipswich Handmade Expo, held each month. Loads of lovingly made goodies to eat, drink, wear, display and/or just enjoy. Entry and parking are free and prices are reasonable.
What have you found to enjoy that's free in Queensland - or in your own part of the world?
