EVERY year people put on their thinking caps to devise more inventive ways to spoil their mothers on Mother's Day.
In Tasmania, the West Coast Wilderness Railway is offering a movable feast on board its Rack and Gorge journey.
The half-day experience departs from historic Queenstown and combines a spectacular journey into the depths of the lush West Coast rainforest as guests enjoy sparkling wine, morning tea and lunch in the comfort of the heated Wilderness Class Carriage.
The Mother's Day journey is available for $160 adults and $80 children. Bookings are essential.

IN Sydney, Captain Cook Cruises is offering scenic breakfast or lunch cruises on Sydney Harbour.
Instead of breakfast in bed, mothers can enjoy a delicious hot and cold buffet selection onboard. As a Mother's Day bonus, one child under 15 years travels free with every paying adult.
If you prefer a sleep-in, the Mother's Day buffet lunch cruise would be a better choice. Bookings are essential.
