Mark your calendars for Friday, July 4th, 2025, kicking off at 6:00 PM and running through until Saturday, July 5th, wrapping up by 5:00 PM. This empowering event is all about inspiration, connection, and uplifting support, taking place at 112 Norman Street, Woolloongabba.

What makes this conference a standout, you ask? Well, it’s a rare opportunity to join a diverse group of women from across the Pacific, all coming together to share stories, ideas, and laughter. It’s more than just talks—it’s a chance to embrace our shared journeys and build lasting friendships. Plus, an event in Woolloongabba is always a promise of good times with fantastic company.
If you’re keen on exploring a bit, pop over to a charming little spot I’ve grown fond of—The Woolloongabba Antiques Centre. It’s tucked away just off the main drag and brims with unique finds from the yester-years. Perfect for picking up a quirky souvenir or two!
If you’re heading to the conference, avoid the morning rush by arriving a bit early. The bus route No. 196 is a beauty, taking you right through the heart of Woolloongabba with ease. If you’re driving, consider parking a few blocks away and strolling down—you’ll save yourself some parking woes and enjoy a fresh start to your day.
For a truly local experience, set your sights on the charming cafes lining Logan Road. Whether it’s the artisanal coffee at ‘The Gabba’ or a delicious brunch at ‘Sassafras’, you’re in for a treat. Both spots are favoured by locals for their laid-back vibes and fantastic tucker.
July in Woolloongabba can be chilly, but not too harsh. Think mild days and cool nights. A cosy jumper or a light jacket is your best mate. You know how variable it can be, so layering’s the ticket here. Pack a light raincoat—July might sprinkle on you when you least expect it!
To make the most of your time in Woolloongabba, why not explore a bit more? The area boasts some lovely stops that are worth your while. Here’s how you can extend the vibes of the conference into a delightful day out.
Before the event, take a leisurely walk through Kingfisher Park. It’s an oasis of calm with native plants and birds that’ll ease you into the day’s energies. Then, a quick refuel at ‘The Deli Café’ sets you up nicely for what’s ahead.
After the event, head over to ‘The One Mile Bar’ for a cheeky drink and a chat about your day! It’s the perfect low-key spot to unwind, complete with live music that’ll keep the good vibes flowing.
Catching public transport is easy. The Woolloongabba Busway Station is well-linked and close by. For those preferring taxis or rideshares, finding your way is a breeze, with well-marked pickup zones that keep things simple.
Parking’s a mixed bag, so if you’re driving, scoping out the side streets like Railway Terrace is a good idea—just remember to check those signs, mate! Early birds often cop the best spots.
