There’ll be no complains of ‘being bored’ these Easter school holidays thanks to the Member for Burnett Stephen Bennett’s ‘Boredom Busters’.  

Primary school children can hop through a choice of 12 activities to win a FREE goodie bag!  

Mr Bennett said it’s all about rediscovering our backyard.   

“We are so lucky to live in paradise in the Burnett, so now’s the time to plan your staycation,” he said.  

“There’s certainly no way my grandkids can complain of being bored when they visit pop these holidays. 

“To win a free goodie bag, children (and parents) must simply complete six activities from my ‘choose your own adventure’ checklist and send the completed list through to me via email or text.  

“Our bags are jam-packed with goodies to keep the kids happy, including free gelato vouchers thanks to the generous team at the Windmill Café Bargara, train rides thanks to our good friends at the Australia Sugar Cane Railway, frisbees, colouring-in packs and more!  

“They’re available while stocks last, so hop to it!” 

Activities include:  

  • Sculpt a sandcastle at Nielsons Beach (send us a pic!) 
  • Take a walk on the wild side at Alexandra Park Zoo  
  • Play mermaid at Elliott Heads Rockpools or at Agnes Water/1770!
