Welcome to MBGC online magazine Spring edition
The flowers are blooming and the birds are singing which means it must be Spring!
In this edition of MBGC, we’re getting into the seasonal spirit and springing behind the wheel of the Mercedes-AMG EQS 53 4MATIC+.
For Concept, we meet creative gurus at virtual production company, Fika Entertainment, who are facilitating cost-effective and innovative solutions to create awe-inspiring and out-of-this-world visuals and digital experiences.
For LABEL, we chat with the women behind Gold Coast boardie brand, DUKiES, whose vibrant designs champion kindness and causes close to the heart; for Plate, we indulge in creative cocktails and modern Asian cuisine at Burleigh institution and cult classic, Light Years; for Enterprise, we enjoy some pre-loved, high-end retail therapy at Loan Lenders, who sell exclusive luxury labels and offer short-term easy loans to clients.
Heading into the tropical hinterland, MBGC uncovers the mysteries of Mullumbimby’s counter-culture charm and laid-back way of life, revealing a magical heritage town set amidst a majestic landscape.
We encourage you to share the link with your friends, and if you’d like to view the range of Mercedes-Benz autos, please select Pre-Owned Catalogue in the top menu or visit our Robina showroom.
