When it comes to finding the right gift for dad, be it for his birthday or Father’s Day, the whole process can be quite challenging. Dads are often creatures of habit, which also means that they most likely have their favourite things sorted and already have a system set in stone.
Rather than falling back on the typical stuff like sports gear, another pair of socks or jocks, coming up with something creative and meaningful this Father’s Day can be tricky.
Not to worry though, we’ve got you covered with our 5 Father’s Day gifts that are unique with a good chance to impress Dad this year on his special day.

There aren’t many things that bring family together as much as food does. So why not treat Dad to a hearty Father’s Day dining experience at the Grand View Hotel in Bowen?
Happening on 5 September 2021 from 11.30am to 9pm, surprise Dad with some quality time with his loved ones while tucking into a delicious hearty meal followed by a fresh glass of beer on tap to wash it all done.

Limited edition Father’s Day Australian whisky
There aren’t many opportunities to celebrate Dad and Australia at the same time as Father’s Day, which is why bringing in some good ole’ Aussie spirit to Father’s Day can be a real treat for him this year.
Bringing in the boldness of Ned Kelly, the NED Australian Whisky features a limited edition stash that has unmistakable character that Dad will appreciate. NED Whisky is a local Melbourne whisky distillery with a strong and loyal following for good reason.

Take him out for a fish
When in Bowen, you simply cannot overlook going fishing with Dad on Father’s Day as an option. Fishing is one of the town’s biggest attractions, and with the countless creek systems, coral islands, and offshore reefs, there’s just so much marine life and fishes.
You’ll find awesome species including Bream, Coral Trout, Whiting, Mackerel and Barramundi this time of year. And some great places to fish up in North Bowen include Bob Moses, Boat and Meatwork Creeks, which are also accessible by sea at high tide from Don River Boat Ramp.
If you don’t have a boat, you can still fish with Dad from land by heading to the Bowen Jetty or the rocky outcrops of Horseshoe Bay, Grays Bay and Rose Bay.
