Zillmere gives parkrunners something they cannot get from any other Parkrun in Australia. A Parkrun starting with the letter Z.

Many parkrunners spend a lot of weekends away from their home Parkrun, trying to achieve a 'Parkrun Alphabet' by completing 20 parkrun courses starting with 20 different letters of the Alphabet. Many of these 'Parkrun Tourists' inevitably come to Zillmere Parkrun to get one of the rarest letters in Parkrun Tourism worldwide, the elusive 'Parkrun Letter Z'.

People come from throughout Australia and even oversees to get their 'Z' and it is not uncommon to have a small number of oversees Parkrun Tourist at Zillmere Parkrun, seeing the sights, and ticking of their 'Parkrun letter Z'.

Zillmere Parkrun has great, enthusiastic volunteers who do a wonderful job of catering to visiting parkrunners. Which makes sense considering how many Parkrun Tourist they help each week. In large part, it is the spirit of these volunteers that makes Zillmere such are great little Parkrun to attend. Each Saturday there is a relatively small crowd in attendance, but the atmosphere is great, and the local and tourist parkrunners are friendly.

Zillmere Parkrun is a grass Parkrun, with a fair bit of variety throughout the course. It is an interesting course, but first time Parkrunners should pay attention during the pre-race briefing or they are liable to go the wrong way.

There is plenty of space throughout the course making it an ideal course for giving your dog a good run. It is also great for those who prefer to avoid courses with harder surfaces due to issues with knees and other joints. However, as it is a grass course, it is not particularly suitable for those who are mobility impaired who would struggle on grass. The grass also makes it a slower course, so it is not likely to be the course you set your new PB on if that is something you care about.

Visually the course is not overly exciting, and much of it is run around basic sporting fields. It does not compare with the scenery of other parkrun courses along rivers, waterways and through parklands. However, the friendly volunteers make it a great little Parkrun to visit to get your elusive 'Parkrun Letter Z'.

Cinebar in Paddington

Cinebar in Paddington is one of the most intimate cinemas in Brisbane and a great place to catch a movie especially on a 'get-to-know-you' date. Their slogan says they "do it differently" and they certainly live up to that boast.

Cinebar has a distinctly local and friendly vibe and a good atmosphere for easy conversation. You will be greeted by cheerful, competent staff. Even the patrons who come from all over Brisbane are extremely friendly and courteous towards each other.

Compared to many cinemas, the food and drink available is well prepared, high quality and though not cheap it is reasonably prices. It feels luxurious to order the food (either in person before the show or during it using the app) and to have staff cheerfully bring it to you while you recline and enjoy the show.

Even if you don't usually crave good food for a movie, it is worth ordering something different off the menu in order to submerge yourself in the full experience. For something light choose something like a Cheese platter or Peking Duck Spring Rolls. For a main try the Sizzling Mongolian Beef, or maybe try one of their Marghe-Rita Hayworth Pizzas.

There are however two things to be aware of. The app does not include all the options you can order before going in, so you may want to order first and then use the app to do additional ordering through the movie. Also, there are footstools which for many make the viewing even more pleasurable, so don't forget to grab a footstool before you sit down and get comfortable.

Harvey Bay Park Run is a stunning flat course with lots of shade, ocean views and other fantastic scenery.

It is basic out and back course on paved paths which appeals to many participants.

The volunteers are enthusiastic and participants are 'chill'. In a windy day you may get splashed by a touch of sea spray which most participants feel adds to the course and makes it memorable.

There is plenty for spectators to do near the finish line while they wait for the park runners they are supporting so they can cheer them down the home stretch.

Urangan Pier is a very popular post run cool down walk. The pier goes out 800m into the ocean, making it a lovely 1.6 km stroll out which participants can do wiht their family an supports after the run.

Have chips on the beach and let the kids explore to make a perfect day of it.
