A BEAUTIFUL CHAPTER comes to a close on our Springtime in Canberra & Quilt NSW Exhibition Tour. 🌸

From the grandeur of Parliament House and the Australian War Memorial to the colour and creativity of Floriade, the National Gallery of Australia and Quilt NSW, our days were filled with art, craft, history and inspiring stories.

We discovered charming corners of Canberra, enjoyed exceptional dining and premium hospitality, indulged in a little shopping, explored Sydney’s iconic landmarks and celebrated the creativity and craftsmanship that makes these destinations so special.

Woven through it all were the experiences that make a Launchpad Tour unique; beautiful places, thoughtfully curated experiences, wonderful food, shared discoveries and plenty of opportunities to simply enjoy the journey.

A fabulous collection of art, craft, culture, history, food, friendship and unforgettable experiences, all brought together for one very special springtime adventure.

THE BEST PART OF EVERY TOUR…OUR LADIES

At the end of every tour, we take a moment to reflect on the experiences, the laughter, the highlights and all the wonderful memories made along the way. But every time, we come back to the same thing — the incredible women who make it all so special.

Our Springtime in Canberra & Quilt NSW Exhibition Tour was filled with beautiful experiences, but it was the friendship, support, trust, encouragement and wisdom so freely shared by each and every one of our ladies that made it truly memorable.

These trips are such a gift to us. We feel incredibly lucky to do what we do, to share these adventures and to meet so many remarkable women along the way.

To each of our Springtime ladies, thank you for travelling with us, trusting us, laughing with us and making this tour what it was. We loved every minute and we’re already looking forward to the next adventure together. ❤️

HUGE CONGRATULATIONS | A massive shout-out to this incredible group of Launchpad Ladies who decided to face their fears and take on the Sydney Harbour Bridge Summit Climb during our Springtime in Canberra & Quilt NSW Tour.

There were nerves, plenty of excitement and a whole lot of laughter — but they absolutely smashed it!

What an experience, what a view and what a fabulous bunch of women to share it with. We loved every minute!

FLOWERS, FUN & A LITTLE BIT FLORI-LICIOUS!

What a fabulous day at Floriade Australia in Canberra! Our Launchpad Ladies spent the day soaking up the colour and creativity of spring, admiring the exquisite flower displays and enjoying all the little extras that made the day so much fun.

Ferris wheel rides gave us a bird’s-eye view of the spectacular blooms, while the old-school slides brought out the inner child in a couple of us! We browsed and shopped with local vendors, enjoyed the buzz of Floriade, and then finished the day in the most delicious way, with an exceptional High Tea at The Marion; a perfect finale to a beautiful day.

Flowers, laughter, shopping, spectacular views and fabulous food…another wonderful day of memories made together. 💕🌷

OUR WELCOME TO CANBERRA

What a day of history, gardens, great food, special moments and a spectacular sunset!

We began at New Parliament House, before wandering through the beautiful Rose Gardens of Old Parliament House and enjoying a leisurely lunch in the courtyard.

Then came a visit to the magnificent Australian War Memorial — a place that never fails to leave an impression. We were especially honoured when two of our ladies were invited to lay a wreath during the Last Post Ceremony. It was a deeply moving and memorable moment for us all.

And just when we thought the day couldn’t get any better, we headed to Water’s Edge Domes for dinner, where an incredible sunset provided the most spectacular backdrop to our evening.

A day filled with stories, beautiful surroundings, friendship and moments our ladies will remember for a very long time.

AAAAAND WE’RE OFF • Our first stop on Day 1 of our Springtime in Canberra & Quilt NSW Exhibition Tour was the fabulous Makerie, and what a wonderful welcome we had!

We were treated to a delicious lunch, plenty of time to browse, discover and shop at leisure…and judging by the happy faces (and shopping bags!), our Launchpad Ladies thoroughly enjoyed themselves!

A huge thank you to the wonderful team at Makerie for welcoming us so warmly and helping us start our Canberra adventure in such a lovely way.
