Won free tickets to see #Wildwood. Almost cried watching it. It's THAT good. Go see it in cinemas while you can, it deserves the big screen! SERIOUSLY technically impressive stop motion animation, it's so easy to forget and think it's CGI, but it's all real! – at Brisbane, Queensland

Phew... 172 trick-or-treaters tonight. Crazy. That's around 1/3 the population of the local school. We had 70 last year so we catered for 100 thinking it would grow a bit... Good thing I had a ridiculous quantity of Bertie Beetles left over from the Ekka! – at Brisbane, Queensland
