If there’s one thing the Kailis team know how to do well, it’s coastal dining. Think Gibney, the Shorehouse, and Magic Apple.
Their next coastal precinct takes it up a notch further. A four-metre marble statue. Custom coins placed into every guest’s hand on arrival. A walk-in wine cellar holding 4,000 bottles, with a tasting table set among them. George Kailis has just unveiled the design details for Surreo and Bar Surreo, the first two venues inside his Sorrento Beach precinct.

Whale shark swims, manta ray encounters, scenic flights over Ningaloo Reef, and Aboriginal cultural tours are now all available at half price, after the State Government launched a new voucher program to bring visitors to the Coral Coast.
The Ningaloo Adventure Vouchers apply to eligible tours and experiences in Exmouth, Coral Bay, and Carnarvon and are valid from today until June 30th, or until they sell out. Bookings can be redeemed any time before November 30th.
The scheme is part of a $1.45 million package the Cook Government has rolled out to help Coral Coast tourism operators recover after Cyclone Narelle disrupted the region.
What can you see and do?
The 50 per cent discount applies to whale shark and manta ray swims, snorkelling and eco adventures, hiking, scenic flights over the reef, and Aboriginal cultural tours, among other marine and outdoor experiences. Operators across Exmouth, Coral Bay, and Carnarvon are participating, with the full list available on the Western Australia tourism site.

Looking for an activity that actually holds the kids' attention?
OceanXperience has recently opened at WA Museum Boola Bardip — a recreation of life aboard a deep-sea research vessel, built into the museum and open until October 11th.
Move through Mission Control, Wet and Dry Labs, the Bridge, and the Sub Hangar, all based on real working areas aboard the OceanXplorer research vessel. Each zone includes hands-on activities that let them step into the role of a scientist and learn how tools such as submersibles, robotics, and mapping systems are used to explore the ocean.
There are interactive stations throughout the exhibition, along with real expedition footage and engaging digital experiences that bring deep-sea discovery to life. It’s designed to keep them curious, moving, and learning the whole way through.
For a kid-free experience, the monthly Dive Bar runs on select Friday nights from 5.30 pm with after-hours access to OceanXperience. Grab a drink and then explore the exhibition after dark, with a rotating line-up of talks, performances, and ocean-inspired music.

If you've never been to a Fever home game, this is the one to start with.
West Coast Fever take on the Adelaide Thunderbirds for Friday Night Netty.
RAC Arena will not only turn green as fans gear up in green shirts, green wigs, green everything. But for the Friday Night Netty match-up, RAC Arena will turn on full disco mode.
Fever Alley opens before the game, on the ground floor. A pre-game zone built for kids — head through the green arch for photo opportunities, giveaways, and games. By the time you take your seat, the music is up, as the light show starts and the West Coast Fever take the court, and the energy holds from the first whistle to the last. In a special halftime experience and adding to the disco theme, Roller skaters will take the court, and those in attendance will need to keep their hands ready as Linley Valley Pork throw flying pig keychains into the crowd. And you get to watch the world's best netball players in action.
Let the kids stay up late. Spoil mum with an early Mother’s Day gift or bring the social netball team. Wear green. Friday Night Netty is definitely more fun as a group than on your own.
Tickets are on sale through Ticketek. Group rates apply for ten or more, which makes this the night to bring the social netball team. The fixture is the only Friday night game on the 2026 Suncorp Super Netball schedule.
