Piney Lakes

We visited Piney Lakes on Saturday. It's 5 minutes drive from the house. As well as being a nature reserve the natural surroundings are broken by sculptures, which makes for a slightly more interesting walk, particularly for kids. There's also a separate play area for kids with seating and grass areas for picnics.

On Sunday we went to Curtin University Open day. There were various stalls, a mobile farmyard petting zoo, local radio stations, helicopter flights (although they were cancelled due to high winds when we were there) and of course plenty of advice and information for would-be students. Only a couple of photos from the Curtin University Open day but plenty from Piney Lakes as you'll see below.

Dad and Kaitlyn surrounded by paper bark trees. Glad it's not dark otherwise it would be a bit too "Blair Witch" for us.



Bat box. There were several at various points around the park.



Pelicans.



Chloe and Big Bird.



A steel bloke with 2 dogs. Neat!



Oink Oink.



Serpent sculpture.



Don't go into the woods at night or you're in for a big surprise!

It gives you wings apparently.
