Holiday happenings on the Cooloola Coast
We can’t wait for the flying fox at the new Lawrie Hanson playground
Council have been working hard on shade structures, picnic facilities, bbqs, lighting and a toilet block, but of course kids are really after the new play equipment.
No wonder they have been busting to get there – with swings, large spinning cup/seat pod, rubber whales, spring toys and a ship themed multi-play structure fitted with climbing nets and slide in the toddlers/junior area.
And for older kids, there’s a large multi-activity play structure with activities such as slide, climbing ropes and poles, spinning seat/pole, large basket pendulum swing and best of all – a flying fox!
Here’s more holiday happenings across the coast…
Learn to sail
TBCYC’s next ‘Junior Introduction to Sailing’ will be held in the school holidays on June 26 -27. This is for the beginners between 7 – 14 years old who have never sailed before, and who want to get the feel of sailing over two days before committing to a full course later in the year. For more information phone Sail Training Coordinator Jon Jones on 0408 472 187.
