About Things to Do in SEQ

We are a family of four and this is a story of our adventures in the greater South-East Queensland region. This is not an event calendar, but merely an account of our experiences exploring the region that we live in. Like most families, we are budget-conscious and therefore enjoy free or low-cost activities in around the South-East Queensland area. Our aim is to share the broad range of opportunities for family activities that South-East Queensland has to offer.
