SPRING is in the air and holidays have begun, and we’ve compiled a list of activities to embrace everything the hinterland has to offer. Take a treetop challenge, savour fine foods or listen to the sounds of the rainforest with a visit to Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve. With your newfound vigour you’ll have energy to burn so we’ve included the must-do activities for kids; from searching for the Gruffalo to animal encounters. We guarantee you’ll leave with a spring in your step! 1. Get ready to zipline through the rainforest 25m above the ground at The TreeTop Challenge. Located next to The Big Pineapple, it’s a great way to let the kids burn some energy. 2.

Head over to The Ginger Factory and take on their augmented reality rainforest trail where they have brought to life five characters from The Gruffalo. Simply download the app and follow the clues. 4. Food glorious food. The hinterland’s food scene is rich in its diversity. Go off the beaten track and check out Kenilworth Dairies for mouth-watering cheese and chocolate mousse. Or try Spirit House Restaurant and Cooking School, Yandina. 5. For an immersive experience, visit Mary Cairncross Scenic Reserve in Maleny where the Rainforest Discovery Centre leads you through to 55 acres of pristine sub-tropical rainforest.

REGISTERED NDIS PROVIDER MEET “EARTH AND WOOD” - CALOUNDRA Keeping Compass trainees engaged is easy when we are able to offer activities such as woodworking. The Team at “Earth and Wood” work together to create not only beautiful, but useful items such as chopping boards, rolling pins and cheese boards which are sold at the Compass retail outlet at the Garden Café, Maroochy Botanical Gardens, Tanawha.

Compass Support Worker Derek leads this initiative, using his woodworking knowledge and skills which he passes onto the Trainees. “Our focus this month is Mother’s Day, we are making wood coasters in the shape of a heart. We change the product we make regularly in order to keep the trainees learning new skills”.

Trainees Nick and Kelly look forward to utilizing new techniques in the woodwork shop and continually learning, honing and developing their skills to make stunning and creative products. Social Enterprises such as this are paramount to discovering hidden talents and promoting new interests for Compass trainees.
