🎭​ OPERA IN HISTORIC CHAPEL + 🌸 ROMA STREET PARKLANDS - CULTURE DAY OUT

We'll stroll through lush botanical gardens, enjoy lunch surrounded by greenery, then be captivated by opera in an intimate historic chapel – all in one beautiful Brisbane Saturday!

Let's treat ourselves to a day that feels like a breath of fresh air - literally!. Hop on board our comfy 12-seater and we'll head off together to explore some of Brisbane's most beautiful green spaces before settling in for an enchanting opera performance that'll stay with us long after the final note.

Our first stop is Roma Street Parklands - and if you haven't been, you're in for a real treat. These aren't your ordinary city gardens. We're talking about 16 hectares of subtropical paradise in the heart of Brisbane, with themed gardens that will take us on a journey through colour, scent, and pure natural beauty.. where conversations flow easily and our cameras are filling with beautiful pics along the way.

Then it's time for lunch at The Garden Room – the parklands' own café restaurant surrounded by lush greenery. We'll order whatever takes our fancy (at our own expense), and enjoy that relaxed catch-up where chatter and laughter just keep flowing. After lunch, we'll take a leisurely 15 minute stroll back to the Hiace, then it's off to Milton for our main event.

And what an event it is! Opera in the Chapel at the historic Milton venue is something special. This isn't a massive concert hall or your typical grand theatre - it's a heritage-listed building with real old world charm - Christ Church Milton. The timer to build it was hauled all the way from the Brisbane Valley after the first church was destroyed in a storm back in 1890 .. genuine history here!
It's intimate, it's charming, and the acoustics will give us goosebumps. There's something magical about experiencing world-class opera in a space like this, where every note feels like it's just for us.
The voices, the stories, the emotion of it all - we'll have plenty to chat about on the way home.
