Preview a few different Hollie plan styles.

Families use Hollie in different ways, so this page shows several plan personalities: balanced, budget-friendly, and older-kid focused.

Hollie

Family snapshot

Maya (7) and Luca (10), Sydney

Family of 2 kidsBudget: Under $50 per outingExplanations and backups included

A mixed indoor-outdoor plan for siblings who like science, art, and a bit of room to roam.

Hollie explains why each activity suits the family instead of only listing options.

That makes it easier to tweak the plan later without losing the original logic behind it.

Sydney sample

Maya (7) and Luca (10)

A mixed indoor-outdoor plan for siblings who like science, art, and a bit of room to roam.

Family of 2 kidsUnder $50 per outing

Why this works

Each day blends one headline activity with breathing room afterwards.

Indoor backups stay close by so the week can survive bad weather.

Budget stays visible instead of disappearing into expensive every-day outings.

What happens after this

Save the draft into Planner and move days around the actual weather.

Regenerate a few days if the family wants more energy or more downtime.

Share the final version once bookings and care days are locked in.

Monday 6 July

๐Ÿ”ฌ Museum morning and picnic lunch

Sample day

Start with a hands-on museum session while everyone is fresh, then head outside for a simple lunch and reset.

Why this suits your family

Good for mixed-age siblings because it blends structure with free movement.

Tip: Pack a spare jumper and let the younger child choose the afternoon playground stop.

Tuesday 7 July

๐ŸŽจ Low-cost art workshop

Sample day

A creative indoor day that still feels special, with room to bring home something tangible.

Why this suits your family

Works well for creative kids or families who need a weather-proof option midweek.

Tip: Book the morning session, then leave the afternoon open for quiet downtime.

Wednesday 8 July

๐ŸŒฟ Outdoor energy-burner day

Sample day

A bigger outside day with a playground, walking loop, and a simple backup cafe nearby.

Why this suits your family

Useful when the kids need movement more than another ticketed activity.

Tip: Keep this flexible so you can swap it with the rainy-day idea if needed.

Brisbane sample

Ivy (5), Noah (8), and Elsie (11)

A cost-conscious week with one paid anchor activity and plenty of easy wins around parks, libraries, and community spaces.

Family of 3 kidsFree to low-cost

Why this works

The week keeps transport and entry costs realistic for a larger family.

Activities are paced to avoid overloading the youngest child.

The more expensive outing is balanced by very light days around it.

What happens after this

Swap one free day for a bigger ticketed outing if the week opens up.

Use Planner notes to keep snack, parking, and sibling logistics in one place.

Share the plan with grandparents or carers if they are helping on certain days.

Monday 29 June

๐Ÿ“š Library program and riverside lunch

Sample day

Start the week with a free library workshop, then keep the afternoon light with a nearby lunch stop and playground.

Why this suits your family

Ideal for a larger family because it delivers structure without a big spend.

Tip: Reserve spots early and bring a simple scavenger game for the walk afterwards.

Tuesday 30 June

๐Ÿงช Backyard science and park split day

Sample day

A home-friendly science activity in the morning followed by an outdoor reset in the afternoon.

Why this suits your family

Gives the youngest child downtime while still keeping older siblings engaged.

Tip: Treat this as the recovery day before the paid outing later in the week.

Thursday 2 July

๐ŸŽŸ๏ธ One headline paid activity

Sample day

A bigger special outing with enough structure to feel memorable, but still early enough to avoid a late-day crash.

Why this suits your family

Hollie places this where the family has energy and budget left for it.

Tip: Plan dinner at home afterwards so the day still feels manageable financially.

Melbourne sample

Asha (11) and Finn (14)

A more independent-feeling plan with creative workshops, city exploring, and fewer obviously little-kid activities.

Family with older kidsFlexible

Why this works

Recommendations avoid feeling babyish for families with tweens and teens.

Travel time is spent on fewer, stronger outings instead of over-scheduling the week.

The plan leaves space for social time, personal interests, and low-pressure recovery days.

What happens after this

Use the saved plan as a base, then let each child choose one swap.

Keep one blank day free for weather, friends, or last-minute opportunities.

Share the plan once transport and bookings are confirmed.

Monday 21 September

๐Ÿ™๏ธ City culture day

Sample day

A museum or gallery-based outing paired with a food stop and enough free time to wander without rushing.

Why this suits your family

Feels more grown-up, which matters when younger-style holiday programs are a turn-off.

Tip: Let each child shortlist one exhibit or stop so the day feels shared.

Wednesday 23 September

๐Ÿ–Œ๏ธ Creative workshop with downtime after

Sample day

A hands-on session that produces something tangible, balanced with a slow afternoon afterwards.

Why this suits your family

Gives older kids a proper project without turning the whole day into a timetable.

Tip: Leave the evening unscheduled so everyone can reset after travel and crowds.

Friday 25 September

๐Ÿš‹ Flexible adventure slot

Sample day

A slot reserved for the weather, a bigger outing, or a spontaneous pick once the week settles.

Why this suits your family

Useful for older kids who often have stronger opinions by the end of the week.

Tip: Keep two backup ideas ready so the family can decide quickly on the day.
