You don't have to be a penny-pincher, a skinflint or a cheapskate to appreciate getting something for nothing. Everyone says entertainment isn't cheap, and that's certainly true - in Brisbane plenty of it is
free. During March you won't need to crack open that piggy bank to finance your entertainment. Say "
Bah! Humbug!" to the User Pays principle, leave the credit card at home and get out and about in the cooler Autumn days. You can laugh, listen and learn and it won't cost you a cent.
