Lake Mountain

Drove up to Lake Mountain for some Toboganning on Saturday morning. It was a fairly straightforward 2 hour driving from Box Hill, with a short 13km stretch of very windy road. Reaching there at 1030am, the 2 nearest carparks were almost full. It is a very popular destination for toboganning and cross country skiing.

The train and the pony

This is the miniature train ride at Eltham Lower Park. $3 brings you on a 2km ride through tunnels and bridges; its hard to imagine that you can still get cheap entertainment in this city.

This was also his first Pony Ride. The little brave boy didn't hesitate to accept the offer to ride on the vertically challenged horse.

Lysterfield Lake / Tirhituan Park

28 June, we went to Lysterfield Lake Park to let Matthew ride around for a while. Was a bit windy and no playground so we moved to Tirhituan Park after that to BBQ our lunch and let Matthew play at the playground. Quite a large playground with a spiderweb net for climbing, which he did.
