🌱What if we stopped asking “Is this allowed?” and started asking “What’s possible for children’s play?”🌱

This July, we’re bringing together educators, play workers, play advocates and community leaders in the Cairns region for Playing Out — a professional learning day designed to reimagine play and challenge the limits that restrict it.

This is not just another sit-and-listen conference. It’s a day to step outside, challenge the limits around children’s play, and explore what becomes possible when we give play the space it deserves.

You will hear from inspiring speakers including Angus Gorrie & Isaiah Tueta from The Outsiders, Jonny Marshall from FNQ Nature Quest, Bec Burch and Hannah Powell form Bush Kindy Australia, along with other guest contributors sharing insights and emerging conversations in play.

To begin the day, you can choose from optional early morning sessions including mindfulness in nature, yoga, or rock climbing. 🍃🧘🧗🏽‍♀️

And we’ll finish the day with time to connect, reflect and share ideas over drinks, with an optional shared dinner. Because when passionate people come together around play, new possibilities emerge.

If you care about protecting childhood, championing play and creating environments where children can truly thrive, this day is for you.

We’d love you to be part of the conversation 🤗

Camping onsite at The Northern Outlook is available on 16th and 17th July including the option to hire equipment. Email info@fnqnaturequest.com for details ⛺️

🌱🪱 **Worms Needed for Our Rainforest Rugrats!** 🪱🌱

Hey, FNQ Nature Quest community! We're excited to announce that we're embedding sustainable practices into our programs, and we need your help to kickstart a worm farm at our Rainforest Rugrats site! 🌳✨

Do you have a worm farm that you’re not using? Or maybe you know where we can get one? We’re looking for around 1000 free worms to get this project off the ground! 🐛💚

We nearly bought everything at Bunnings in the excitement of getting started, but in the spirit and upcycling we thought we better see what is out there in our community before spending money that could be better spent on something else and repurposing instead of buying new

Your suggestions and support would mean the world to us! Let’s work together to create a thriving ecosystem for our little explorers while promoting sustainability. 🌍💪

Drop your ideas in the comments or send us a message! Thank you so much for being a part of our journey towards a greener future! 🥕♻️🥬🍅🥔

No Rainforest Rugrats today 🥺

We embrace the rain and love to splash in puddles, but our site is very saturated today and with more rain on the way access may become an issue. We’ve cancelled the session this morning but can’t wait to see everyone again next week ☔️🌈🌱

🌿✨ Highlights from our first Saturday Morning Rainforest Rugrats sessions! ✨🌿

A huge THANK YOU to all the families who joined us in the beautiful Redlynch rainforest! Together, we created caterpillars, chopped wood, cooled off in the creek, and made delicious damper. It was a joy to see children and caregivers making new connections while exploring nature!

🌈 Check out our highlights reel to relive the fun! 🎥

And guess what? We’re doing it all over again in just 2 weeks! Don’t miss out on the adventure—check the comments for the booking link!

Let’s keep the magic of nature alive! 🌳💚
