- 13 July Peninsula This Weekend - 18 to 19 July July sits in the quieter stretch of Peninsula winter, and that is the point. The lead booking is a truffle hunt at Red Hill. Sunday is for the sculpture park at Pt. Leo.
- 10 July Peninsula This Weekend - 11 to 12 July A proper wet winter weekend concentrates everything. The answer on a day like this is one indoor booking with some real weight to it - truffle country, a long lunch, or the pools when the air outside is genuinely cold.
- 29 June Peninsula This Weekend - 4 to 5 July The first full school-holiday weekend of winter is simple: one booked truffle hunt, one Sunday heritage train run, and one indoor family plan that does not feel like a fallback.
- 22 June Peninsula This Weekend - 27 to 28 June The solstice crowd has gone home. This is the quiet winter weekend of truffle hunts, local markets, and the final Sunday Sessions at the springs.
