Great site really love it all

From the interesting articles to the generous prizes I have looked forward to each new edition what a legacy! Will still make sure to keep updated online!

Me and my kids love Pak mag .the completions events and stories we always go to Easter extravaganza which we love and other event when we can like spooky spectacular..love pakmag

Huge thanks to Pakmag and the wonderful work by Bree and the Team. You guys helped us raise our kids and we are grateful for what we learned over many years reading. We loved the focus on family, embracing local community and the love of being local to North Queensland. Wishing Bree and the Team all the very best in their respective transitions.

I lived in Townsville for many years and still visit regularly for holidays with the kids and my first stop has always been to get the latest copy of pakmag so I know what is happening for kids and families. I once won a balance bike care of pakmag that my little boy loved for many years. I enjoyed the articles, the info, the kids colouring section. It was a fantastic publication and I'm so sad it has reached the end of the road. Thanks so much Bree and team for many years of hard work.

Have loved all the ideas and tips throughout your magazine. I’ve been grabbing them for read for many years. A great way to keep up to date with things that are happening locally also.

Thanks for a little magazine packed with amazing competitions, fun activities and everything all about kids. I know it takes a dedicated team to be able to produce good quality and engaging content month after month. My girl always grabbed a copy when we were out shopping (sometimes I ended up getting triple copies because she loved the pictures). I always loved getting the email updates and the opportunity to read up on what mattered to families in the community and now its going digital - I'll still be able to get it! Thanks PakMag

Ripper effort guys and gal's

Very nice book for grabbing for parents with young kids.

I have been reading pak mag for quite a while now love it from the awesome peranting tips to the yummy recipes I have even been lucky enough to win a prize and my kids love doing the activities every month and the what's on always gives us something to do I am really going to miss it thanks to Bree and her team for an excellent read

My 11yr old always grabs a copy of PakMag, if she isn't with me I get it for her. We don't have much of a social circle so she loves going to PakMag events. Her favourite so far was the Halloween event at sugarworld 2 yrs ago. She had an absolute ball on the slides and we had fun playing mini golf etc together.

Thank you for the years of educational and inspirational articles. For the ideas and events to do with my children. Pakmag has been an my go to for many years for the quality and quantity of invaluable information.

Dear Bree and your amazing Pakmag Team, I was so chuffed and so sad to pick up your final edition of Pakmag. Chuffed because I know it’s a part of publication history and was full of heartfelt stories. and sad because it will take me a while to stop looking for it at my local grocery store. Easter won’t be the same without it. My kids love the fun kids colouring-ins and activity ideas. I love hearing from ‘real mums’ and experts in Pakmag who might offer one tip that helps in that time of need. Thank you all for your sacrifices and efforts in filling the gap that was so needed for us parents - especially when we were “first time” mums and dads. I’ve still got a couple of copies floating around at home from those early days with pages folded and paragraphs circled with ideas and tips to help keep me sane. Thank you for supporting local and regional businesses also. You gave us a platform to reach out on. All the best with the digital world. Will keep an eye out for Pakmag events in the future. All the best and thank you again! Aimee xo

I loved picking up our copy of Pakmag from our local swim school! Checking out what’s on locally and entering the odd competition from time to time. The articles were fantastic, short reads to full length! Tips and ideas were always a bonus! Cheers from us! Nik n Mads!

PakMag has been a part of our family's life for so long, providing entertains and meaningful content and connecting us to a range of community events and services. It is always so nice to see a new edition displayed on shelves at daycare, the local supermarket, and at our health care centre. I will miss the print edition but will no doubt be able to keep up with PakMag online!

Love reading Pakmag! Such an interesting read for parents . Love the activities and information about local events and activities. Really fun reading and I look forward to it each month !

As a family we loved pakmag, especially when our son was a little fella. I loved all the community info on things we could do as a family with a toddler.

I absolutely love your parenting articles. The perfect length to finish over a day between my own parenting. 😂 I would like to see these continue to be a regular addition.

That Pakmag has been with me every step of the way in my parenting journey with heaps of useful tips and advice for both my children.

I love the magazine because I featured in it about my car accident that I lost my right arm by amputation from and almost died.

Thank you Bree and the whole team for having this outlet for many many parents. Rest assure that all your advice giving was taken and applied. Sometimes at 2am reading whilst nursing , trying to stay awake. We made it to every Event ♥️ For me, you made Cairns feel like home. I mean it’s been 12 of living here! And I’ve appreciated having your magazine. Thank you, and hope to see you around.

I love reading your msg to get ideas of what is going on in the community. One of the best events that my family was lucky to go to was the halloween night at sugar world a few years ago. My kids still talk about it to this day. So much fun!!

Pakmag always kept me up to date with fun outings for the kids and lots of different activities thank you Pakmag

We loved PAKMAG very much. Why did it have to end? We loved the events, prizes, information about what was happening around Cairns and of course reading the articles. Thanks soo much to all for the hard work and dedication. Hope your next adventure is even more awesome😀😀😀

Such a great resource for parents. The local activity calendar was very useful. Good memory for me would be the Halloween night at Sugarworld. Such a special night with the kids..

Being a parent is the greatest thing and also the hardest. There’s days you will laugh til you cry, and days you will cry til you laugh. PakMag has always provided solid advice and a sense of community through various platforms, whether it be in print or online. Not to mention the activities and what’s on recommendations to help bust boredom. It’s been an incredibly useful tool in the parenting armamentarium, to help us do the best we possibly can.

Especially love the local school holiday events and ideas to keep little ones busy.

What a wonderful magazine, with helpful tips and tricks to deal with modern day parenting. I love to grab a copy wherever I am out and about! Thank you for creating such a great resource for parents.

Pakmag is such a great guide for everyone in the community. The resources, tips and anecdotes about children are practical, user-friendly, and are not just for parents. As a teacher, I have found the articles insightful and the professional development opportunities, beneficial. Bravo Bree!

Thank you PakMag for your help and wisdom. We went through a traumatic ime when our 10 week old grandson lost his mum suddenly. You have helped two grandparents, who have become part time parents again, make these last few years fun and safe with your information and articles. Well done for the quality you provided.

Love picking up a Pakmag when out and about to stash in my bag for later or moments when I find myself waiting and don't want to scroll my phone! The kids loved the activities and it is always handy to know what what is going on for families in the local region.

We always looked forward to the latest edition of PAKMAG, it was a source of great parenting information for me when my son was little, and the activities organised were so great. They got us out and about with other families. Having no family support when my son was little and not many people to help around us was very isolating and PAKMAG really helped with all the awesome information every month. Thanks Bree and the PAKMAG team for putting your heart and soul into this for so long. You have helped so many parents like me who were just trying to find their way through this parenting journey. 😊

I have always enjoyed having this relevant publication to read...sad to know now that it is no longer :-(

As a grandmother to the most adorable 5 grandkids in the world ( I’m not biased!) PAkmag has been my “go to” to keep abreast of all things baby and kid wise whether it’s sound advice from contributors, heart warming real life stories, what’s on to entertain the little ones and so much more in this wonderful FREE mag. Congratulations to all involved with helping the environment with going paperless. I look forward to the next editions on line. Keep up the fabulous work you do with educating an aging GMA!

Love knowing what is happening around town!!! So many helpful tips!!!

I love Pak Mag for the fun things they have to do for children as well as the information on upcoming events and places to see. My grandchildren love the projects and any recipes. I just think it is a great magazine for families as well as grandparents etc. Keep up the great work you are all doing

I absolutely loved grabbing this magazine to read when I was with my kids at the library or at the shops, it was so much fun to read and I will miss seeing them around town. It was really well done and I think you have done an amazing job, thank you so much!

A big shout out and thank to Bree and all her team at Pakmag for such a wonderful job in packing as much fun, puzzles, stories and prizes to be won in such a great magazine, and I’ve been lucky enough to win a couple of times and it’s helped out my grandchildren so thank you so much for that.

I have loved all of the events that Bree and the crew hosted in Townsville , Have been to everyone of them since moving to Townsville 11 years ago. My favourite memeory is this one at the last Easter egg hunt with Bree. Thanks Bree for the memories 💖

Thankyou to Bree and her wonderful team for the Pakmag Books that they've created. I grab a book everytime just to have a read and also give to the kids for the activities they have inside. I love that they are free because they have some wonderful stories and other stuff for the family to enjoy 👍

Loved reading pakmag for activity’s and local events

I loved getting the PakMag every month to find out what was going on around town, go in the draw to win prizes and learn about every stage of parenting

Such a great magazine filled with info for local parents

Sad to see PakMag go... I've been getting PakMag since 2014! Loved every moment of it! Even my children loved the activity section! Never missed a smile from you guys... the kids got to do lots of fantastic activities due to your help. Lots of love guys, Will 100% miss you all ❤️

Enjoyed ready Pakmag every month. Was awesome to know when and where all the family friendly activities were.

I always look forward to picking up a copy of Pakmag each month. I enjoy the local content and have often visited recommended places. Thank you and best wishes for future adventures!

I would love to give a very big shout out to Bree and the team at Pak mag who have always given us things to do with our kids. I would also send a huge thank you to Bree for helping us a few years ago with our son who we almost lost at sugar world at the Halloween event. He would of been a lot worse if it wasn't for all of Bree's help and guidance. You helped me over come so much fear and helped me keep my calm. So thank you you are an amazing women and no words can express how this family is so great full of you. ❤️

Thank you for all your hard work over the years. I first came across and read your magazine when I was a new mum during the 2020 covid lockdowns etc. I still have your 'Easy outings for you and your little one' and 'Pram friendly walks' articles saved on my phone as these were a real life saver for me at the time and are still valuable now I have an active toddler. We also enjoyed your recent Easter Event. Thank you

Pakmag is local. It provided local information from local professionals and identities. The articles, information and advertising were all relevant to the audience. Couldn’t do without it leading up to school holidays with the great activity ideas!

Thank you, Bree and team, for all your dedication and hard work in producing a quality magazine. Well done! Wishing you all the best as you embark on your new ventures.

Thank you for all of the fun times! A great mag packed with content and fabulous events. Sad to see you go x

I did not realise how important PakMag was until I had a little one of my own!! It has certainly given me ideas of things to do and see with her.

Its very helpful being new to Cairns to see what's on and what to do with the kiddos :)

We loved Pakmag events, reading and doing the puzzles. Was great to keep up to date and share local info.

Bree and the pak mag team are amazing we have been following along to pak mags events for a while now and have loved absolutely every single one of them, I love how outgoing, friendly and welcoming bree and the team are and how they include such fun and engaging events and games every single time the prizes are always amazing as well, cairns are sooo lucky to have pak mag and I’m forever grateful for everything that pak mag does and offers for all the beautiful children and families each event you guys are absolute super stars ❤️

I actually listened to your speech today at the Easter event. Most published mags out of all private magazines. Absolutely amazing. What you have done for our community is amazing. We've been to most of your events. We will miss them and our favourite magazine. I really hope your future dreams work out. It would be amazing to see our youth doing articles and events. Thankyou for everything you've done.

Thank you for organising events for families and kids to have fun and meet each other ❤️

My kids have grown up with Pakmag and eaten many lollies and Easter eggs from all the amazing Pakmag events. Thank you very much Bree and team!!

I have been an avid reader of pakmag right from its inception. I was lucky enough to be asked to have a stall at pakmags 1st birthday on the esplanade to recruit more members for Girl Guides and sell Girl Guide biscuits. Pakmag also published two articles in their magazine about Girl Guides which resulted in us gaining more youth members because of these articles. I will miss pakmag and thanks so much for your support of Tropical North Region Girl Guides over the past 16 years. A big Thankyou for the Easter extravaganza today i took my Granddaughter and she loved it.

Dear Bree, Thankyou for stepping into so many of our lives. I always loved to read "The thing is .." My favourite is still tucked away in my miscellaneous pile from Oct 2019 - Ain't no Mumma got time for this type of treatment! Step up or step off. I have always loved your honesty and integrity. I also love that you single out and identify your team and thank them, if anyone reads front cover as well. Good luck in your Vision for yourself and others I am sure it will be whatever you make it.

I have 3 children aged from 12 to 20 and PakMag has been there to help with valuable information and ideas. Especially the school holiday activities were so useful. I'm very sad to see them go.

I am a pensioner but loved reading your magazine to get ideas and also loved the competitions, even won a prize. Sorry to see you go

My son looks for Pakmag each month. We’ve spent time together doing the puzzles and activities and won a few lovely prizes as well. Your magazine will be sadly missed but wishing you all the best for your next adventure.

Thanks for all the fun! My daughter has grown up with your mag and events, along with my journey through parenting. You've provided hours of countless fun and created memories that will last a lifetime. We've been so lucky to attend so many of your fantastic events and have even managed to score a few awesome prizes along the way. It's sad to see it end, but like all goods things it must, so we wish you all the best, and I sincerely thank you for being such a wonderful part of my daughters childhood. Leanne.

Hiw wonderful it has been to follow Bree on her adventures from the early days hosting karaoke for kids to this wonderful magazine that has given so many families information and joy. Bravo to you Bree and all at Pakmag.

Parenting is such a hard job and you've just made finding activities to do with them so much easier. Thankyou for your amazing podcasts and events! You've definitely made so much difference to so many people like me 💓

Bree and the PakMags Team have delivered many wonderful Children events over the years which as a parent was a godsend! Fondest memories are Easter Egg Drop at Kuranda and Christmas Party at Cazalys! Our family has enjoyed keeping up to date about what's happening around Cairns through their monthly magazine. Thanks for the wonderful memories and opportunity to win some lovely prizes along the way. We wish you all the very best!

The absolute go to in cairns for families to know what’s happening in the area and provide information and advice on all aspects of parenting. So much fun for the kids, we waited eagerly for each magazine to come out.

Pakmag has been a godsend since having kids, it has handy ideas of how to improve on all different aspects of parenting, fun activities to do locally and at home. So many fun printouts and especially the monkey dollar printout have been so popular in our household, the kids love using their dollars to buy from the special shop we have. I have been a lucky winner of 2 giveaway over the years and also attended the easter celebrations a few times. Bree has done such a fantastic job of keeping community spirit alive.

To Bree & the PakMag family! Thank you for creating such a fun loving connection community. Some of my favorite ‘me moments’ have been just sitting with a coffee & taking some quiet time out to enjoy what you put together for us online, on paper & in person… So a big Thank you again & wishing you all the very best!!

We all need energy to survive and Pakmag gave it out in bucket loads without a care that you often left none for yourself. Thank you for all that you have done to so many communities and families.

Thanks for a fabulous, free magazine that I look forward to reading every issue. My 9 year old daughter loved entering all the competitions - she won a 'Plastic Problem' book and this has encouraged her to save the environment. Thanks for being a great guide to all the wonderful ways to spend time with family.

Thank you pakmag for the wonderful events you have put on for the community. I have taken my kids to every event you have put on and every time its fun, we have laughs and the big kids have just as much fun as the little ones. Thank you for the wonderful prizes my little one received. She will remember this for many years. She was so excited and couldn't wait to get home to enjoy them. Your events will be missed.

Hi Bree and the team. I always saw pakmags around town and remember picking up my first copy when I was pregnant with my first in 2017. I was lucky enough to win a pair of pregnancy spanx/undies (complete with an opening for easy toilet breaks) I won’t attach an image of that. Thanks for organising the Townsville Easter Eggs today! X

To Bree and the Pakmag team i'm forever greatful for the conections and personal skills developed from your events and gatherings. Many thanks for your kindness and dedication to the families and communities. Wishing all of you all the best for your future's.

You have touched many lives of people of all ages through PakMag. Good wishes in your next step Bree. Naomi Wilson
