It’s no doubt our city is going to be much quieter than usual with the increasing regulations and concerns regarding coronavirus. And, although there’s many events which have been postponed or cancelled (which you can explore here), there’s still plenty to do this weekend with crowds under 100 people!
We live in such a beautiful landscape with access to some of nature’s best delights. So, if you have the ability to do so, get out there and explore our local natural habitats and breathe in some fresh air that’s both good for your soul and your health while supporting local businesses in this tough time.

Eagle Street Pier ‘Intrude’ Installation (with bunnies!) | Brisbane City
When: Weekend-long
In a first for Brisbane, Australian artist Amanda Parer will showcase her world famous Intrude artwork installation, featuring giant inflatable, seven-metre tall luminous bunnies at Eagle Street Pier this March. Yep, you heard right: there will be six very large rabbits illuminated in stark white light in Brisbane. In her work, Parer depicts rabbits as an out of control pest in Australia, however, Intrude deliberately evokes a cutesy image and a strong visual humour to lure you into the artwork only to reveal the more serious environmental messages in the works. A great concept and an even better message, it’s not to be missed!
