The Queen’s Birthday long weekend is on Saturday 30 September, Sunday 1 October and Monday 2 October. It is also the first weekend of the school holidays. And the AFL Grand Final is on Saturday.
Instead of my normal last minute ‘what’s on this week’ post I thought I’d do a summary of what’s on then, so that you (and I!) are prepared!
The highlights…
Please click on the links for more info, you will need to make a booking for quite a few events, and some may even sell out.
