Floriade launches in full bloom

IT’LL be a “feast for the senses” at this year’s Floriade, with spectacular entertainment, horticultural delights and a smorgasbord of activities for the entire family.

Launched by former Miss Universe Australia and the face of Floriade Rachael Finch, the gates to Floriade open on Saturday and close on October 16.

Floriade Nightfest, September 28 to October 2, will include movies under the stars, cocktails, live entertainment, night markets, food wine and a spectacular new lighting installation called “Storm of the Senses.”

It’s a beautiful morning, so up early and off for 7.30 start at Floriade… don’t bother! It doesn’t open until 9 am! Can you believe it? Are we a big city trying to encourage tourism or just a complacent hick town?
