Did you know that 2019 marks 20 years since Reverse Garbage Queensland officially opened its doors? In celebration of this milestone, they'll be putting on an Open Block Party at their RGQ Warehouse at 20 Burke Street in Woolloongabba on Sunday 14 April from 4.00 pm to 8pm. At the free anniversary party, there will be something for everyone to enjoy. My regular readers know how much I love Reverse Garbage and this promises to be not garbage at all.



Meet the Maker Market will be featuring some of Brisvegas's local eco artisans:



Don't miss the free Maker Spaces for kids and adults which will feature the Brisbane Tool Library, Enjoy RGQ Workshops and there will be live entertainment from 6.00 pm with local Brisbane band, Pick It Up. Bring friends, neighbours and all the family along to bop to the uplifting sounds of this local eight-piece brass band. Celebrate the night at the maker spaces and night markets. Best of all is that this is a free event. All you need to do is spread the word, turn up and enjoy all the festivities.

Public transport runs very frequently to these stops. Check out Translink for all the routes and timetables.
