“If you are up for an adventure, put on your hiking boots and go bushwalking around one of the many national parks.”
Mayor Anne Baker said parents will be pleased with the free, fun and jam-packed school holiday program inside and out.
“Clamber up Mount Funnel at Cape Palmerston National Park or Wolfgang Peak at Peak Range National Park and admire the scenic views.”
“There are winter crafts, Ozobots, story time, rhyme time and much more at Isaac Libraries and free Revolutions Skateboarding Workshops in skate parks.”
Mayor Baker said residents can step back in time and learn about arts, culture and the history of Isaac.
“In the second week, Indigenous Artist Lloyd Hornsby will be hosting Boomerang and cap indigenous art workshops celebrating NAIDOC Week (July 4-12).” “For people looking to explore outdoors and get in touch with nature, Isaac has some top camping spots right on our doorstep.” “From Theresa Creek Dam, Lake Elphinstone, St Lawrence Recreation Grounds to Windmill Bay, there are plenty of places to get away,” she said. But if camping is just not for you, Isaac provides plenty of other things to do with great public spaces, parks, playgrounds, and pools.
“Stop by the Clermont Historical Centre and the Nebo Historical Museum. Opening times vary and a small entry fee applies. There is also the Coalface Arts Gallery.” “If you’re looking to strike gold, grab a fossicking kit from the Council office in Clermont and try your luck.” All fossickers require a fossicking licence and must comply with the special conditions of access. The June - July holidays will begin Friday 24 June and end Monday 11 July. For more information on all these great activities, visit www.isaac.qld.gov.au Isaac... helping to energise the world
