The Best BBQ and Picnic Spots
Areas of skirting the suburb present fabulous opportunities for mountain biking and bush walks and short hikes up Mt Cootha. Enogerra dam near Walkabout Creek provides the perfect destination at the doorstop for a bushwalk and swim on a hot afternoon. A peaceful bush setting and one that so many kids these days just don’t get to experience. So much of our time generally gets spent in ‘sterile’ or artificial environments sometimes it’s just so nice to get back to nature. Away from compulsion to check the latest f/b or insta posts and listen to wildlife and just enjoy peace. How lucky to have this on our doorstep.
