Coffee Connections  – Tide Café - Thursday 1 August – 10.30am – 12.00pm

Did someone say coffee?

ADF families are invited to join us for our monthly coffee catch up. The winter weather in North Queensland is too perfect to be stuck inside. Come along and chat over a cuppa and cake. We visit a different venue each month as we explore the local café culture.

This is a self-funded activity. Attendees are responsible for the cost of purchasing their own food and drinks. Children are welcome.

To ensure we book enough seats for everyone, please RSVP here
