Have you ever dreamed of a week of fun, excitement and adventure with other people from our community where you could meet people from around Australia and overseas? Well such a week exists and it is almost here and it is right in our own backyard, Queensland.
There are many activities to choose from or you may just want to kick back and take in a few rays or read a book and gaze across the beautiful Pacific Ocean. The fun side includes choices of a cocktail party to meet others, a sunset river cruise, dance party that also includes hot guys in competition to be the Sunshine Coast representative for Mr Q.
It doesn’t stop there. The choices just keep on rolling on as you could visit one of the world’s most beautiful Islands for a full day 4 -wheel drive safari or maybe a shorter unique tour of the protected and amazing sub tropical Everglades is your style. You can visit the Great Barrier Reef for a day if you choose.
There is also another cocktail function on the river where you can meet the locals and rub shoulders with some expert travellers and business people, as well as aboard the majestic Kookaburra River Queen. The week culminates with a grand finale of Australia’s second largest gay and lesbian dance party - Big Gay Day in Brisbane. Probably the friendliest and most affordable party of its kind you will ever visit with top entertainment.
Where can you access all this and more, nowhere else but Queensland’s stunning Sunshine Coast for what they call Mardi Gras Recovery Week, but we think it should be called just a Big Gay Adventure Holiday. It truly is an absolute bargain, plus this top notch week can include accommodation at Peregian Beach. You would normally have to travel across the globe for an exciting week like this to maybe Spain or the Greek islands. You are very likely to meet men and women from all over the world and maybe even make a new friend or two.
There is some limited availability so if you want the whole package or just join in the fun for maybe
just one or two of the events then be quick because it all starts on March the 1st. Also you are more than welcome to join the party on Tuesday March 2nd to help pick the last contestant for Mr Q Cover boy Competition who may win the big Domayne Shopping Spree worth $10,500.
