This week, you can hear an orchestra play dance music hits, catch 'Gladiator II' under the stars and stock up on supplies for festive season from Scenic Rim producers.
After hit seasons in West End and on Broadway, the award-winning stage version of everyone's favourite time-travelling 80s flick is zipping Down Under.
Have you heard the word about Queensland Theatre and Queensland Performing Arts Centre's new adaptation of the beloved 90s series? We chatted to the composer/playwright and director behind it.
Spend a few nights in a leafy treehouse, a beautifully restored truck perched right on the bay or even a mountaintop cabin with views for days.
The Japanese artist's latest Australian showcase will include more of her immersive environments than has ever been assembled in one place before.
These rooftop bars, cosy pubs, riverside hangouts and wine havens are suitable for both celebrating and commiserating.
