Neels Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Count us in Tazzn, if you're willing to wait a few weeks... We arrive June 30th Myself and the missus with girl 13 and boy 7. And I'm sure the rest of the gang (about 6 families) who are already there will join in.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted May 27, 2015 Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 (edited) I know that not so long ago Mara organised a Melbourne meet (can't seem to find the post from my phone to revive it) but I have noticed that there are a few Melbourne news arrivals and soon to be arrivals and I wondered if anyone was keen for another get together???We have been here a little over a week and keen to meet some folk Here is the link to the thread from Mara's previous meet up in case anyone wanted to see it - but you are probably best to have a fresh one as the title of the old thread would be confusinghttp://www.saaustralia.org/index.php/topic/43733-melbourne-picnic-at-hanging-rock/?hl=%2Bhanging+%2BrockPotentially see where the people who are keen to come are located in Melbourne re deciding a venue to meet.

Tazzn Posted May 27, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 27, 2015 Thanks TMI. ?

Sunnyskies Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 We are no longer in Melbourne, but we did go to a meet up at Jells Park one winter. It was incredibly cold so we were all rugged up, but you could actually make a proper braai at Jells Park, not just a gas bbq which is the case at many parks (including Hanging Rock).In Melbourne don't let the weather get you down unless it is going to rain the whole day. Jell's park does have some covered areas with large tables and benches, but someone would need to get there early to stake a claim. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mara Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 I had a chat to my friend Google, she advised me that there are a number of parks that allow open fires, so have a look.https://www.google.com.au/search?q=albert+park&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&gws_rd=cr&ei=r4pmVdLbCcbU8gWn4YOAAw#q=parks+in+melbourne+with+open+fire+barbecue&spell=1Parks I have been to and would recommend, in no specific order except how my lazy brain can remember them:Jells ParkBundoora ParkGrants Picnic Ground (parrots abound)Westerfold ParkHanging RockAlbert Park (but this one could be tricky as you have to get permission for a gathering and pay for parking) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TeeTMI Posted May 28, 2015 Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 To add to Mara's listLiving Legends (kangaroo park near airport, has tea rooms and undercover area) but I suspect chilly in winterhttp://www.livinglegends.org.au/what-we-do/visit-woodlands-homestead/Werribee Park was lovely in summer http://parkweb.vic.gov.au/explore/parks/werribee-parkAlbert Park - There is some free parking on the coast side of the park (quite expensive otherwise) at the weekend and we always found free parking (also accessible by tram for those without transport).

Tazzn Posted May 28, 2015 Author Report Share Posted May 28, 2015 Some awesome parks! Think we are going to pay bundoora a visit ssoon, my daughter will love it.Neels and Miran ( & anyone else that is keen)) let me know if any venue stands out for you.. With a daughter of 3 my only selling point are lots of playground equipment but for the older kids they might prefer space to ride bikes etc... 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
