sllebasi Posted November 24, 2011 Share Posted November 24, 2011 For those people in central and southern Queensland, and northern New South Wales, there is a tourism promotion being held for the Granite Belt for these school holidays. This is an excerpt from the press release: Family fun on offer with Holiday Game Plan There is no excuse for children whining ‘I’m bored’ this Christmas holidays. They just need to get hold of the School Holiday Game Plan to design an amazing and affordable Christmas vacation. The Warwick, Stanthorpe and Tenterfield Visitor Information Centres have united to provide a comprehensive calendar of events and attractions for families to enjoy these Christmas holidays. Game Plan organiser Fran Hockings said ‘The Holiday Game Plan’ promotion is designed to offer boredom solutions to suit any budget and any length of stay in the area. “Children wanting to get back to nature can experience horse trail rides or pick their own strawberries and pet enthusiasts can even see police dogs being trained at Law Dogs Australia,” Mrs Hocking said. “During school holiday periods it is common for parents and carers to think ‘what can I do today that is with in my budget and keep the children amused’, so we have taken the guess work out with the Game Plan.” The promotion encourages families to explore the region’s attractions but with the added incentive of great prizes. As part of the promotion, Southern Downs & Granite Belt Tourism has offered the prize of a hot air balloon ride for a family of four valued at over $1000.00. For entries to be valid, children must get their entries stamped from three participating businesses. For more information on the Holiday Game Plan, call the Warwick Visitor Information Centre on 4661 3122 or visit www.warwickevents.com. It appears that there are many more family friendly activities and experiences are now being promoted including Suttons juice factory, strawberry and fruit picking, Jamworks, maze, tenpin bowling, mini golf and Lawdogs show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
