This Father’s Day, Skip the Cliché and Head for the Scenic Rim
Dad probably doesn’t need another pair of socks.
What he might appreciate is a day spent with the people he loves, good food on the table, live music in the background and a few stories to laugh about on the drive home.
This Father’s Day, bring the family to Bearded Dragon Hotel Tamborine for a relaxed country day out in the Scenic Rim. Start with a farmhouse breakfast buffet, stick around for live music from Brendan the Bard, meet the donkeys, cheer on the infamous toad races and enjoy all-day dining at one of Queensland’s most unique country pubs.
Whether you’re visiting from Brisbane, Logan, the Gold Coast or right here in the Scenic Rim, it’s the kind of Father’s Day that turns into a yearly family tradition.
Why This Is A Great Father’s Day Idea
If you’re searching for Father’s Day activities in Brisbane or looking for something different from the usual lunch booking, a day at Bearded Dragon offers a little more than a meal.
It’s a chance to get out of town, slow down for a few hours and spend quality time together.
The kids can meet the animals, the adults can settle into the beer garden, and everyone gets to enjoy a genuine country pub atmosphere that feels a world away from shopping centres and crowded restaurants.
Add live music, toad racing and plenty of space to relax, and you’ve got the ingredients for a bloody good Father’s Day.
Farmhouse Breakfast Buffet
Start the day with our Farmhouse Breakfast Buffet.
Load up your plate with all your breakfast favourites before settling in for a relaxed morning with family and friends.
No rushing. No dishes. Just good food, fresh country air and plenty of time to enjoy the day ahead.
Breakfast bookings are recommended. See menu.
Live Music with Brendan the Bard
Brendan the Bard will be playing live throughout the day, bringing his signature mix of crowd favourites and laid-back tunes to the hotel.
Find a spot in the beer garden, order a beer-tasting paddle or a cold drink, and enjoy live music while the kids explore the grounds.
It’s exactly how a country pub Sunday should feel.
Meet the Donkeys
One of the highlights of the day is our morning donkey meet and greet.
The donkeys have become local celebrities around here and they’re always popular with visiting families.
Fair warning though… the donkeys may end up getting more photos than Dad.
Along with our resident alpacas and goats, they’re part of what makes a visit to Bearded Dragon different from your average Father’s Day outing.
The Famous Toad Racing Returns
The Toadman returns.
If you’ve never witnessed the legendary Bearded Dragon toad races, Father’s Day is the perfect time to fix that.
Expect laughs, friendly competition and a little bit of chaos as the crowd gathers to see which toad claims racing glory.
It’s one of those uniquely Bearded Dragon traditions we promise your kids remember for years to come.
Make Some Family Memories
The best Father’s Day gifts usually aren’t wrapped, they’re the stories you end up talking about months later.
The breakfast shared together. The donkey photos. The kids cheering during the toad races. The live music drifting across the beer garden while everyone relaxes for a few hours.
That’s what Father’s Day at Bearded Dragon is really about.
Not ticking a box.
Making memories.
