Live Music & Toad Racing – A Scenic Rim Sunday to Remember
Spend your Sunday surrounded by live music, quirky entertainment, and a touch of country magic as Brendan the Bard returns to the Bearded Dragon Hotel on Sunday 1 February 2026. From 2PM to 5PM, Brendan brings his signature mix of folk-pop originals, heartfelt lyrics and warm acoustic energy to the Tamborine beer garden — perfect for a relaxed day in the Scenic Rim.
Then at 3PM, get ready for Tamborine’s favourite pub tradition: toad racing! Pick your racer, give them a name, place your bet (just for fun), and cheer them to victory. Prizes are awarded for 1st, 2nd and 3rd place — and the laughs are guaranteed.
If you’re looking for fun, family-friendly events in the Scenic Rim, this is your Sunday sorted.
Donkey Picnics, Baby Showers & Kids’ Parties – Only at the Dragon
Did you know the Bearded Dragon Hotel is home to Scenic Rim’s only Donkey Picnic Experience? Our famous donkeys — including Matilda, Clancy and Mabel — love to join the festivities, and now you can book your own private picnic experience with our four-legged friends. It’s the perfect idea for birthdays, proposals, hens’ days or just for a bit of wholesome fun.
