Channel 9 News appearances

Where Kids Eat Free Across SE Queensland

Media coverage for The EKKA

Ekka for under $100 for a family of 4

Let's be clear. I am not saying you SHOULD spend less than $100 on an Ekka visit… I am saying you CAN!Top Tips ===> www.familiesmagazine.com.au/ekka-under-100 Read our article – if you mix and match all the 'cost nothing' activities with a few treats and if the kids use their pocket money to buy their own showbags (aiding in their financial literacy) then it CAN be a cost effective way to enjoy a full day at the Ekka. Very grateful to Channel 9 for sharing our ideas last night.
