Big news in Brisbane today for Bluey fans, with news that the interactive experience has been extended through to February 2028.

Over 500,000 people have been through the doors since the attraction opened in 2024.

The success of Bluey and Bluey's World has had tourism, government and city officials licking their lips at the prospect of even more people visiting Brisbane for a Bluey day out.

Bluey's Brisbane was able to attend the announcements and catch up with Sharon Wilson, Director of Brands & Licensing BBC Studios ANZ, Andrew Powell who is the Queensland Minister for the Environment and Tourism, as well as Councillor Fiona Cunningham, the Deputy Lord Mayor of Brisbane.

If you're a Bluey fan, you know the show is all about creative play.

Our guest on this episode is Christopher Mannino who is an author, actor and former theatre teacher.

Chris studied mythology, theatre, and literature both in the US and at Oxford. He is a digital nomad currently residing in Malta with his wife and two kids.

Christopher's new book is called 'Making It Up: A Revolutionary Way to Bond With Kids Through Play'. The book was inspired by Bluey, when Christopher recognised that much of the Heeler's life was based on improv theatre.

We'll give you a sneak peak of the book, and a few tips on how you can play more creatively with your kids.

Find out more about Christopher, his new book 'Making It Up', as well his other fiction and non-fiction work at his website - www.christophermannino.com

'Making It Up' is available in paperback and for Kindle on Amazon, and the audio book is available on Audible.
