Gibirrngaan Park (Black Snake Park) has a contemporary dreamtime theme, and is filled with play pieces for kids of all ages. Younger kids will be in their element as they balance along the giant Red Bellied Black snake, dig for dinosaur fossils or explore the playhouse with slide, shop front, and talking teletube. Older kids can climb the net to the wooden birdsnest for views across the park, and then race down the mega slide! Little explorers will love the dry creek bed and giant snake eggs, and the giant ring swing lets both kids and parents…

Here I share some easy sensory play bases that most people will have lying around the house, or can easily pick up from the local shopping centre.

Cabbage Tree Point
What I love the most about Cabbage Tree Point is that it delivers a different experience every time we go. Depending on the weather, there are so many different things to do. While I usually love the nice sunny beach days spent here and on the playground, recent sunset visits exploring the mudflats and going for a walk were just as fun!! No matter the tide, come with your towel and a change of clothes when you visit and you'll have a ball.
