Margaret-Mary & Mark Robinson
It’s nice to meet you!
Hopefully the reason you’re here is that you’re looking for something a little different to connect, entertain and perhaps even inspire. That sounds a bit serious, but we’re here to help you release the endorphins and have some fun.
We know all about fun after eloping in the UK and returning to Australia. Mark is an artist and we understand how art and being creative connects people. We want Mackay, Whitsundays and the Bowen Basin to enjoy this unique experience… so ‘Bottletops & Brushes’ was born.
Gather your friends, family and work colleagues, add some nibbles and drinky poos and have yourself a good time whilst unleashing your inner Picasso.
