The school holidays are upon us, but the Easter weekend will be a relatively quiet one in the Murraylands.

Unless the Easter Bunny pays you a visit and everyone in your household gets hyped up on chocolate, of course.

To those who celebrate in the Christian tradition, happy Easter; and to those of you heading away on holiday, travel safe.

Learn about egg-laying animals at Monarto Safari Park this weekend and you could take home a chocolate bilby – not a real one like this one. Photo: Monarto Safari Park.
