Local Activities

Little River Earth Sanctuary

Werribee Rotarian & Real Estate Agent James Ferris organised a Twilight visit and BBQ for his Club to the Little River Earth Sanctuary recently.

 

James is embarrassed to admit that whilst he lives in Wyndham, he had no knowledge of the Earth Sanctuary until meeting the owners in the course of his job at  First National Westwood Real Estate.

 

Following a delicious BBQ and a visit to the Rothwell homestead

about 50 members including their partners and families were treated to an exceptional adventure tour at sunset. 

 

“ This amazing place is on our doorstep”  says James “ You can visit the Ned Kelly Film set, learn about the animals and join the volunteer program. It’s a must for everyone, especially if you have children.”

 

The cost, the location and loads of other info can be found on www.littleriverearthsanctuary.com.au

Adventure Playground

Located on the corner of Heaths Road and McGraths Road, Wyndham Vale, the Adventure Playground is the largest community built playground in the southern hemisphere according to Wyndham City Council’s website.

 

With picnic tables, toilets, pay as you go BBQ’s and a fenced playground specifically designed for toddlers, and a far more adventurous playground for other age groups it makes for the perfect day out!

 

A family picnic, Mother’s group outing, afternoon walk or a special treat for the kids, the Adventure playground is worth the trip.

 

Adventure Playground is open 7 days a week, and best of all, it’s FREE!




Mambourin Sensory Gardens

Fancy a coffee break? A sandwich by a pond with ducks quacking nearby? A wedding ceremony in a picturesque rotunda? A tranquil place to sit & ponder?  Look no further than the Mambourin Sensory Gardens, 39 Ballan Road, Werribee.

 

This wonderful project was undertaken by a group of people with disabilities who converted a vacant block into a striking garden. Since the initial project began a nursery and café have been added and these provide ongoing employment for people with disabilities.

 

There are rolling lawns, BBQ, picnic area, sunken herb garden, a beautiful pond with a stream winding it’s way through the attractive, sweet smelling gardens.

 

This truly is a wonderful place to visit. Open 7 days, free entry. Further information on 9731 8222
