This weekend is the start of the Easter long weekend, and of course two weeks of schools holidays for South East Queensland. While for some it means a trip off camping or having a lovely meal with family, for many others their businesses will be working full steam ahead.

We’ve researched a few of our Indigenous businesses who will be trading through Easter, whose services and products you might like to take advantage of.
