Melbourne's Biggest Children's Museum Revealed | Lose Yourself in a Mirror Maze | New Digital Exhibition at Melbourne Museum
Hi there
We are super excited because tomorrow is our first ever Reader Party at the brand new Museum of Play and Art Melbourne!
I'm really hoping to make the Reader Party an annual event - an opportunity to meet readers, thank them and my team for their support and to have fun with all of our families.
It's part of my effort to build a committed community around what's become a very big website. It's not just a solo operation any more and it couldn't happen without a lot of people supporting my goals and my vision - including all of you!
If you're coming to celebrate with us, I can't wait to meet you! If you're not able to come, then I encourage you to check out the amazing Museum of Play and Art Melbourne and the other great things happening in Melbourne for families during the rest of July.
