Location:
Roughly an hour away from home, but well and truly worth the drive! This is a popular destination for families and parties, with so much space to run, equipment to play on and last, but not least, the awesome Diamond Valley Miniature Railway!
Equipment:
- Miniature railway!
- fenced in playground closer to the railway contained spinning poles, rubber mound to climb up, slides, pathways, epic seated flying fox, local sculptures
- Toilets and water
- footy oval
- offlead dog oval further away
- another park over the other side of the oval – slides, swings, spring rocker, climbing equipment, ropes
- bird life! Jack thought the best thing to do was chase them!
Jack liked loved:
the miniature railway! And what a great experience it is. I think a full circuit took around 15 minutes,, and you travel past many others also enjoying their rides on these miniature trains. Through tunnels, over bridges, past people waving at the crossings – it really is well thought out. And the best bit? A trip costs a whole $3 and kids under 2 are free! Right next to the railway there were a few vans selling food and coffee, and a further 2 minute walk brings you to one epic fenced-in playground. On the day we visited there were also pony rides – I think Jack took awhile to figure out what a pony was – slightly bigger than Benny! The only downside is the struggle to find a car park. Even though there are heaps around, due to the popular nature of the railway and the facilities, it brings in a lot of people to the area on a lovely day.
