Love Qpac and all the wonderful shows they have, a great variety for all ages and catering for all tastes, they have great competitions also, very easily accessable by public transport or private car, very easy website to navigate through, the only bugbear is the booking fee charged when I print out my own tickets at home, what's that about??

QPAC is a lovely venue by the River which caters to a wide range of entertainment, it is easy to get to by public transport (bus, ferry and train) even from the outer suburbs. If you are staying in town then it is a nice stroll across of the the bridges crossing the river. We went and saw Mary Poppins,... More
