I do have a bit of a vested interest before anybody pipes up, I'm running the sausage sizzle for the local cubs & scouts next Wednesday & Thursday next week on the childrens days.

If you want a great day out, its worth looking at, you can also incorporate feeding the cockatoos & rozellas at grants picnick ground just past Belgrave (buy your birdseed at safeway before you leave) its fab, and maybe plan a ride on puffing billy as well from Belgrave to Emerald

with just 37 views, obviously not many tulip lovers out there

anyway, if anybody decides to drop in tomorrow or Thursday say hi. I'll be the grumpy old fart stood at the barbie on his days off.

If we go mid-week during school term time will there be much for kids to do?

Today & tomorrow, and also next Wednesday & Thursday are the childrens days.

Plenty to do for them. Face painting, learn to play the didgeridoo, live music, games, a reptile show etc etc.

Thanks for that.

Think i'll take a trip there on the 30th

NO !!!!!

get there tomorrow and buy a hamburger with the lot & help the cubs get to Cubaree & the scouts to Jamboree in 2012

All of the kids I saw today looked like they had a great time.

The face painting was probably the best I have ever seen.

If you go, dont forget a bag of bird seed and a stop at grants picnic ground just outside Belgrave. The kids will love that as well.



this one is from nearly 3 years ago, but there are normally hundreds of cockies, rozellas & lorikeets all the time.

You're cutting it a bit fine for cubaree aren't you?

I love taking people to Grants Picnic Ground. Fantastic place. One of my kids had a cocky on his arm there for ages. I tried the same thing but it bit me.
