Cloudland The Musical
For over 40 years, an iconic building sat high on top of Bowen Hills overlooking Brisbane; a venue that could hold more than 5,000 people and was an integral part of the most defining decades of popular music in Australia. Cloudland the Musical is, in part, a chronological journey of first-hand accounts from acts, musicians, dancers and staff of Cloudland. These facts have been interwoven into the story of a fictitious, yet typically Australian, suburban family and the way in which Cloudland impacts each of their lives, from the post war 1940s to early 1980s.

Weaving is Healing Sunshine Coast
Create a beautiful medicine pot by weaving with pandanus spiralus (a unique premium weaving fibre from Arnhem Land). This is an opportunity to experience the ancient art of basket weaving as a deeply mindful and contemplative practice.
