Strawberry season is back in action on the Sunshine Coast. 🍓🍓
We visited @mcmartinsfarm in Bli Bli today for the start of their pick-your-own season and we’re happy to report there are plenty of delicious strawberries ripe for picking.
They seriously taste so much sweeter when picked straight from the patch. Yum! 🍓🍓

FYI - This post isn’t sponsored or anything. We just love supporting local businesses. And McMartin’s are one of the last remaining PYO places on the coast, so they deserve the community’s support. Plus, they make delicious strawberry ice cream! 🍦😁

If you’re looking for something fun to do this Easter long weekend, make a beeline for @aussieworldfun 
We recently visited and had the best time on all of the rides, and the kids even got to make slime that they’ve been playing with ever since. 
Our favourite rides are probably the spinning Dingo Racer, Rev Shed Dodgems, Plunge, and the Illusionarium. 
But there’s a great mix of rides (including some for the really crazy adrenaline seekers) and you hardly ever have to line up, so the day is packed full of fun. 
Love it!
What’s your favourite ride?

Over the weekend we enjoyed the most amazing stay at @clandullacottages in the Scenic Rim.
It’s only a short drive from Brissie and the Gold Coast, but felt a million miles away from the hustle and bustle of the city - check out that beautiful country sunset view! 🌅 
Hibiscus House where we stayed was so luxurious, it was a great way to start the school holidays. And the kids were in heaven feeding all the animals and searching for eggs. (Swipe across for all of the action.) 
We’d highly recommend visiting. 
Tell Matt and Nambok we said “hi”! 😁👋

Have you discovered the heritage-listed Dularcha Railway Tunnel yet?
It’s a bit of a ‘secret’ Instagram hot spot on the Sunshine Coast, so you’d be ‘batty’ not to check it out. 😉 (The tunnel’s also home to small seasonal roosting bats. 🦇)
Hope you’re having a great week!
