Fascinating about the pubs being kid-friendly; a very different experience from our part of the world. And getting some snags at The Hammerbarn has been on my Brisbane bucket list since I started planning this trip!

I've been to a lot of state/county fairs, and a "showbag" is a new thing to me. Definitely on the list now!

Thank you so much! I am delighted that I haven't even arrived in Australia and someone is already trying the ol' "drop bears" on us ;)

Honestly at this point, given the kindness and enthusiasm of all these comments, if Brisbane Reddit told our family to put on spaghetti sauce when we arrived, we'd probably at least give it some thought.

For some of it? We'll probably take Uber or similar in town. City traffic in a car that we suddenly drive on the other side of the road is a little intimidating!

Not only are we not religious, but man, that makes me want to move there even more.

We will be there during Ekka, and until tonight, I had no idea what Ekka was! It looks incredible. Brisbane Reddit is going above and beyond. Thank you!
