Michelle tells me that Mawson Park is a popular family and group picnic destination. Apart from having heaps and heaps of space, there is a central pond with residents ducks, geese and even black swans (and seagulls).
There are a couple of covered picnic shelters with tables and bench seating and free? gas bbqs and bins. There is a MASSIVE kids playground to suit all ages from 1-15yrs plus a bike track around the playground which has a white sand base. There is also a green grass football sized oval used for sport on Saturdays, a public toilet block that is ok, and the whole park is shaded by massive Tuart trees. The whole park is surrounded by a lowrise copper-log fence with grass parking surrounding the park on the verge off the street, which is Mawson Crescent. So all in all it sounds like the perfect spot for our gathering.
From some of the responses I had to my post #15950, I can see that some of you are keen to have a weekend campout or similar. Perhaps once we've met and had a chance to get to know each other a bit, we could organise an actual bush outing.
This will be a great chance to meet, mingle and put a few faces to names so we hope to see you all there!
