Concrete Playground's Most-Read Stories of 2017
From 'glampgrounds' to new live music venues, here are the stories that resonated most with you this year.
As we approach the end of the year, here at Concrete Playground, we stop to take a glance backwards — to take stock of what happened in Brisbane in 2017 and how the city has changed. As always, there's been a lot of notable developments.
Our most popular stories of the year — the ones that resonated with you the most — include the city's new things: innovative new bars, a new cinema and a new live music venue that's set to open in 2019. But, most of all, you just wanted to get away from it all. Our story on Stradbroke Island's new permanent 'glampground' has been the most-read story this year. So in 2018, make time for mini getaways — pack it all in for an email-less weekend of swims, sunsets and self-care.
