The first convention of 2014 was Brickvention. Australia's big LEGO convention that contains displays made by fans from as young as 5 years old. LEGO builds to professional LEGO displays and paintings. A must for LEGO fans.
Quick info
Website: Brickvention
Date: 18th & 19th January 2014
Open: 9:30am-5:30pm
Prices: $6 for kids, $12 for adults and kids under 3 are free.
Tickets started being sold on the first week of October but by the time I heard about it most of the morning sessions were sold out. In the end I heard (from a parent in the line with me) that only the 3:30pm Sunday session was left but I think that's the best session because you could stay until closing. That's pretty awesome and a good hint for anyone looking to go with their kids or by themselves next year.

This year I NEEDED (by threat of murder) to go with my kids. I felt very guilty and sad going without them last year and I felt they missed out on something very special. I found out just before Christmas that Brickvention were on sale. I decided it would be a surprise for my son turning 6 on the 29th of December to get some tickets on his birthday.
