Most bigger towns and cities have tourist buses or guided walking tours. Book one in for your family or find a brochure of walks from your local tourism office for a fun day out. You never know what you might uncover in a town you think you know well. When AJ and LJ get older and less prone to nightmares (we may have to wait until they are 20 or so!), Melbourne has a particularly spooky sounding evening ghost tour through the historic backstreets and buildings in our city… I can imagine lots of fun to be had especially if it was followed by a dessert or a stack of pancakes at a cafe.

Finding something to do can be as simple as typing the name of your town and then “tourism” into google and see what you can find.
