Jane Lewis is with us from Tourism Queensland to tell us about the annual Queensland Festival. Jane, welcome. 00:00:10,440 Morning, John. So much is going on for the next couple of weeks in our festival here in the state's capital of Brisbane. The music tent opens this week, and this will be an event not to be missed. As the name suggests, the music tent is an enormous tent where musical performances and activities will be going on throughout the day for the next two weeks. 00:00:34,620 Monday is gonna be really busy as it's a public holiday and the first day of the event. It's going to be lots of fun, but if you're free, it's probably a better option to leave it till Tuesday unless you love crowds. The following day is when the master classes take place, and this requires pre-registration, so you can't just turn up I'm afraid. 00:00:58,850 The weekend educational workshops were so popular last year that they have been extended this year. They now run each afternoon from one till four o'clock before the evening performances start from five. If you're learning to play an instrument, these workshops are great fun, so make sure you get along there. 00:01:20,980 Tickets for the music tent events are available from the door, or you can purchase them at the ticket office located in the city center. For the best deal, though, take proof of your home address to any library. As a local resident, you will be able to purchase discounted tickets. 00:01:39,860 Apart from music, we'll also be celebrating our local history with a special walking tour around Brisbane city center. Not to be missed on the walk is a tour of Macquarie House, the home of Queensland's first governor. It has lovely gardens you can walk around or picnic in. This building has a fascinating history because it was built on the very same spot where the first settlers landed, so it's really worth a visit if you enjoy learning about our local history. 00:02:14,340 No Australian event is complete without a barbie, and I think the big barbecue is going to be fantastic. It's not quite as big as the millennium year barbecue, but there'll be local and international bands playing on the main stage for the first time this year at no extra cost. As always, the food will be prepared by top local chefs. My mouth is watering already. 00:02:40,200 I really recommend going along to the Railway Museum during the festival because trains are such an important part of Queensland's history. On loan from Queensland Rail at the moment is our very first steam train. You won't be able to see it in operation, but you can hop on board and have a meal in the old dining carriage. There is also a wonderful display of uniforms that have been worn over the last one hundred years. 00:03:12,220 Before you hear the rest of the talk, you have some time to look at questions seventeen to twenty. 00:03:25,740 Now listen and answer questions seventeen to twenty. 00:03:37,920 Another really special opportunity is the return trip on our only remaining steam train, which runs from Ipswich to Toowoomba. If you purchase a family ticket, as well as a trip on the train, you receive a free Australian flag each to wave while aboard. There is a small charge for the Ipswich Museum tour, but I think it's worth it as it makes an educational day out. 00:04:04,380 The documentary film you can see there is interesting, and it's well worth the two dollar entry fee. On the return train journey, the kids get a lovely activity book designed to teach them about the history of the steam train. Don't forget to bring your sunscreen and hat. It's going to be hot up there in Toowoomba at this time of year. 00:04:27,800 And finally, I'm going to tell you about an event called Our Favorite Place. This is an opportunity for the public to vote for their favorite spot anywhere in the state. Maybe a park or a restaurant. It's up to you. You can vote even if you're not living in the area at the moment. You can vote as often as you like by sending in the voting form, or if you prefer, send a text message from any Australian mobile phone number with the name of the location. It's so easy. 00:05:00,200 Not much time left, though, so get those votes in as soon as possible. The winning location will be announced on the last Saturday of the festival. Also remember that no age limit applies for this one, so this is a good way to get the whole family involved. 00:05:17,360 Well, thank you very much for that, Jane.
