Cockatoo Recreation Reserve - Cockatoo (VIC)

Alan Liang Fantastic sunset spot overlooking Goulburn river, the spillway and the mountainous surroundings. Has a few chairs and places to sit but would recommend bringing chairs to watch with unobstructed views!

Livinia Sheridan This was so fun and cool to see. My dad suggested we go after seeing it on google maps and I was very skeptic and not interested at all. But after we went in it was amazing. The amount of work and care put into making and maintaining it is incredible and it’s so cool to see. I would definitely give it a go if you are around the area!

Jay Cao Funfields is a confident establishment that caters to the young and old if all ages. There’s a massive area for picnics and even bbqs, an area that can be reserved for a fee so you don’t need to brave the elements. There’s also VIP huts and seating dotted around every area in the park, it’s definitely a must do on a busy weekend so that you don’t have to find bring the whole camping set. On to the rides, majority of the rides are water based, from a simple water slide to an water thunderous ride for 4 people built for speed and adrenaline. On a hot day there’s a line however not hours long so definitely bearable. Most seated rides are part of the entry ticket however most will run roughly 2 mins and yes I have timed it. Their food option is also very decent and not a rip off. Although service is efficient but somehow I feel a vending machine will suffice for drinks. There’s plenty of lockers but get in early to get the bigger sized one if you plan to roam around all day. There’s definitely enough rides and things to do for the full day so it’s a good way to spend a whole day and for burning off that excess holiday energy and when going to the beach is not an option.

Danny Cheah Penguins come up around dusk slightly after sunset. restricted viewing area while the boardwalk remains closed after 6pm to allow for the penguins to get used to people.

Georg Mertzdorff Perfect place to watch the sunset thats also close-ish to the city!

sventek This place is so cool. As soon as you enter, it feels like youve entered into a different world, with an abundance of mulch covering the entire flooring and an abundance of mature trees providing atmosphere and natural shade. Theres different types of slides, ramps, steps, a large trampoline, a basketball court, a covered picnic area, a community garden, just to name a few. It has limited opening hours. The website says its staffed during opening hours which I think is true as there seemed to be someone in charge amongst the crowd having a birthday event that was on when we visited. 2 hour free parking available nearby. Toilets available on site.

Rob the Nomad One of the biggest and best parks to be at on this side of Melbourne, has full perimeter walk/run track with numerous windy pathways through the beautiful landscaped gardens. Plenty of room here for sports or kids to play around lovely place thats well kept. Follow people like me as we make the effort to show amazing places around the world for you to evaluate

Lemonade A huge bridge that is very unique. Everyone can learn somthing here. Definitely you dont want to miss it. If there are a ranking of sightseeings I recommend to tourists, this one is among the top three!!
