- With free kids activities, a free BBQ and water fun without an entry fee, Jindalee pool has a lot to offer this Australia Day. Come along and don’t forget to bring sunscreen.
- How does backyard cricket, raffles, barefoot bowls, a BBQ and live music sound? Good? Then head to the Oxley Beach Party and also make sure to participate in the thong and gumboot throwing championship before the event wraps up with a firework display.
2. Food trucks, live music, fun family activities and no worries!
- Spend this year’s Australia Day at the beautiful Sutton beach in Redcliffe where you can enjoy live music, beach activities and food trucks without paying an entry fee. It ends with a bang, so don’t forget to pack camping chairs or a picnic blanket to watch the fireworks!

3. Looking for an action-loaded day? Australia Zoo and Lone Pine have got you covered!
- Visit Australia Zoo and take part in the kangaroo hopscotch challenge, throw a koala (a plush toy) and watch the Irwin family feeding the crocs. This is an Australia Day that you won’t forget anytime soon!
- It doesn’t get much more Australian than holding a koala! Head to the Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary and spend the day taking photos of adorable animals and enjoying exciting shows.
