Monday 14th Feb "The Enchanted Maze Garden"

Today we had an amazing day out to the ......

The Entrance into the park was just lovely

What a great place, so much to do, we first explored the various mazes..

The first one being the

Children's Maze

This maze is specially designed for kids to stop and play. It has a series of themed gardens that will capture the imagination of everyone....The featured gardens include The African Savannah, The Beach Box, The Fairy Realm, The Panda Garden....

The Hedge Maze

We wander through the beautifully manicured Leighton Green Hedge Maze and apparently it had a Japanese Garden in the centre, which we never found, we spent some time in here trying to find our way out let alone the middle...But we had fun

Can you spot Johns HEAD !

The also had a Turf Maze the object was to walk it and find your way out without coming off the path

John had a go but cheated !!

The Blue Gum Gallery Maze

This Maze is a totally different experience from the other mazes, this maze proves that just because you can see through to the centre and the bridge in the middle it’s not always a certainty that you will succeed in reaching the middle, we walked around this one for quite a while also before we finally found the bridge...

From here we viewed the

The Christmas Garden 

 which has Santa’s  sleigh and reindeer's underplanted with whites and reds, topped off with a magnificent Weeping Holly.

Note Rudolf's red nose

Once we had finished the mazes we moved on to the

Sculptures

We walked through a magical bushland dotted with giant wood sculpture carvings, sound sculpture and wrought iron work.
Set amongst 5 acres of old growth eucalyptus. The Sculpture Park  over many years  have had many pieces of art constructed on site by a wide range of artists including Chainsaw Work, Metal Creations, Clay & Wax..Here are pictures of the amazing works....

The Mona Lisa

My  Hero !

From here we moved onto the Tube sliding  which involves an inflatable tube with a laminate surface applied to the underside of the tube. This smooth surface glides on the constructed slope like a ski glides on snow.

John thought he was going to get away with it but with gentle coaxing he decided to have a go.... you sit inside the tube then slip, ride and fly at super speeds down the slide run.  I wanted him to have another go because I missed him coming down the slide but he said NO WAY.. he was buggered the hardest part was dragging the tube up the hill....Hes a good sport will have a go at anything once !!

After a most amazing day we headed out through the Lolly Shop..and on our way home...
