What’s on in Queensland: September
The September school holidays in Queensland bring with them Pirates Week hosted by the Maritime Museum and, for little girls who love dressing up, there is the Barbie’s Dream Closet event. Earlier in September, active kiddies can enjoy kids sports and story time in the Botanic Gardens plus you can take your teeny ones to the cinema at the Babes in Arms events where films are specially reserved for new mums and dads. We hope you enjoy all September has to offer

Jolene enjoys writing, sharing and connecting with other like-minded women online – it also gives her the perfect excuse to ignore Mount-Washmore until it threatens to bury her family in an avalanche of Skylander T-shirts and Frozen Pyjama pants. (No one ever knows where the matching top is!) Likes: Reading, cooking, sketching, dancing (preferably with a Sav Blanc in one hand), social media, and sitting down on a toilet seat that one of her children hasn’t dripped, splashed or sprayed on. Dislikes: Writing pretentious crap about herself in online bio’s and refereeing arguments amongst her offspring.
