Set against a stunning natural backdrop, Game Of Life is a truly magical adventure.

About Our Adventure Weekend
Your Game Of Life experience includes private access to the Noosa Everglades, one of only two everglades systems on Earth.
It is a world of water, wilderness and wonder in the upper reaches of the Noosa River.
Known as the River of Mirrors because of the amazing reflections in the water, the Noosa Everglades is a 60km stretch of pristine waters, magnificent flora and fauna and narrow waterways.
Created In Partnership With Marnus Labuschagne
Marnus Labuschagne isn’t just a Test cricket superstar — he’s a kid from Brisbane who grew up with big dreams and a determined mum who never stopped believing in him.
At our experience, your son will learn some of the mindset. rituals, and real-life stories that helped Marnus handle pressure, stay confident, and back himself — on and off the field.
A Like-Minded Community Of Mums
Social isolation is a thing.
At Game Of Life, you’ll meet fun group of like-minded Mums just like you. Our Beautiful Minds events are renowned for connection and their ability to create life-long besties.
Your Accommodation
The Paperbark Glamping Tents offer each mother and son their own private glamping tent.
Relax with an afternoon drink on your private deck and witness the resident Grey Kangaroos up close and personal — it’s their favourite place to relax in the late afternoon.
Our property is immaculately presented and also includes a brand new restaurant and cafe and laundry facilities.
Please note: This is a shared eco-camp. Other guests may be staying across the 65-acre property during our experience.
It Doesn't Have To End
Timed perfectly with the school holidays, Game Of Life becomes the anchor of a broader family getaway — with the world-class beaches, dining, and boutiques of Noosa just 25 minutes down the road.
Fly into Sunshine Coast Airport. Spend your first days at Unearthed. Then extend into Noosa for the rest of the holidays — Hastings Street, the national park, Main Beach, and everything the region is famous for.
The experience ends. The holiday doesn’t have to.
