September 2 is Father’s Day, it’s just around the corner. Instead of giving him a pair of socks and burnt toast for breakfast, show dad how much you appreciate him with one of these awesome gift ideas and ‘best days out’…

  • Is your dad a home handyman or Mr Fix It? See the team at Mitre 10 to arrange a gift voucher. For details, pop into the store, 7 Scullett Drive, Cooloola Cove.

  • Dad will love a new 4.5 metre, three piece surf rod and reel for just $79! Or, get him an OZTRAIL 2.5 metre RV shade awning for $199.00. Both available from Rainbow Beach Fishing & Camping, located on the corner of Rainbow Beach Road and Clarkson Drive.
