Wands, Brooms & Eucalyptus Blooms (Qld)

Calling all Wizards! Wands, Brooms & Eucalyptus Blooms is a free, family-friendly celebration of
the magic of Australia’s iconic eucalyptus trees. Craft your own wand and broomstick from
eucalyptus wood, mix up mystical gumnut potions, and make enchanted gifts for the tiny
guardians of the gumtrees.
With storytelling, nature crafts, and hands-on wizarding activities for all ages, this spellbinding
event invites you to connect with the bush in a whole new way.
Event Highlights-
Wand-Making & Broomstick Building
Craft Wands and Broomsticks from eucalyptus leaves, gumnuts, and bark, learning about the
unique properties of different eucalyptus species. Your enchanted creations are for you to take
home and treasure.
Care of Magical Creatures
Before selecting wand materials wizards must first befriend the gumtree guardians and learn
how to care for the magical creatures that call these trees home. An immersive experience
where children learn “tree whispering”
—discovering how eucalyptus trees communicate, release
their scents, and support local wildlife.
Potions Class
A hands-on potion-making station where wizards will mix botanical brews using
eucalyptus-infused ingredients, uncovering the plant’s real-world healing, antibacterial, and
aromatic properties.
Nature Crafts & Bush Treasures
Creative workshops where families can make leaf rubbings for talismans, press eucalyptus
leaves into amulets, or thread gumnuts into charms—blending art, ecology, and storytelling.
