When the heavens open Brisbanites may go reaching for the winter woollies but with the temperature gauge still firmly set to summer, there's no reason to let a little bit of rain put a dampener on the last days of school holidays. Even when it's raining there are plenty of ways to have a shining Queensland holiday. With a year-round tropical and sub-tropical climate, rainy days give visitors the chance to enjoy some Queensland experiences they may not have otherwise thought of.
1. Hit the road for a day on the Scenic Rim Wine Trail to sample some of the delights of the rolling hills and the hospitality of the region's boutique wineries. If you don't want to designate a driver, Cork 'n Fork Winery Tours will take care of that for you.
2. Just outside Brisbane is the Ipswich Workshops Rail Museum, an award-winning museum that is a brilliant spot for a day out, especially if you have young ones in tow. Visitors can experience and learn about rail from its advent to current day. Stay overnight and enjoy more of what Ipswich has to offer. Book your stay at Metro Hotel Ipswich International – www.metrohotels.com.au
3. The XXXX Ale House Brewery, Beer & BBQ Tours' lets visitors smell and touch the raw ingredients, see how the beer is made and taste the final product.
4. Head to the top of Brisbane (literally) with Story Bridge Adventure Climb. They climb in all weather and heading up in the rain gives you a totally different perspective of the city.
5. Take in a performance at Queensland Performing Arts Complex, ranging from smash Broadway hits to plays and musical performances such as the currently playing Mary Poppins.
And while you are in Brisbane, book your accommodation at Metro Hotel Tower Mill Brisbane – www.metrohotelbrisbane.com – ideally located opposite Brisbane’s historic Tower Mill.
