A List of Things to Do While We Go on Holiday
The Field Guide is going on holidays over Christmas, but we haven’t forgotten you!
Here’s 35 things you could be doing on your Christmas break.
Game On...Levelling-Up Your Life with Gamification
With a background in business and sales coaching and a love for video-games, when a global pandemic hit, local entrepenuer Steve Claydon decided to 'gamify' productivity and goal setting, and started a tech company. In the three year's since, Arcadify.io now has a global reach, and recently paid out its $1Mth in personalised rewards.
Starting the New Year Strong...
Studies show that approximately 80% of New Year's resolutions fail, so how can you ensure you are a part of the 20% who succeed?
As it turns out, there are a few easy things we can do which have a significant impact on how likely we are to see real change and come out with lasting results.

Beyond the Wall
There's something within some people that strives for more, a spirit that wants to push the boundaries of what they're capable of and what we think is possible. Local school principal and ultra-marathon runner Michael Bray is such a person.
The Art of Tiny Living
A tiny home is more than just a house – it’s a lifestyle, retreat, and one that's increasingly growing in popularity and appeal.
Food from the Wild
Here in Toowoomba we have close access to an abundance of amazing food destinations. From distilleries to patisseries, bakeries and restaurants, there is something for everyone. But what about our native foods?
Connecting Careers & Community
Moving to a new place far from home can be daunting, but finding employment can be even more so – from learning the ropes of the Australian workplace to landing a job that matches your skill sets.
For the Love of Thrifting
We’re handing over all of our best secrets. Whether you’re looking for a designer handbag bargain, some vintage glassware for the bar cart or a new dining suite, there’s an op-shop waiting for you!
Beyond the Brew
