All of my wild children love a speedy water slide. And in fact, I don’t mind one myself. There are many here in Sydney, ranging from the very large water park Wet ‘n’ Wild, to smaller slides at swimming pools. Guess what, you actually don’t need to spend a fortune to enjoy a slide with […]

Redleaf Pool, you are so gorgeous. If we lived within walking distance of Murray Rose Pool (as Redleaf Pool has been renamed), we’d come here ALL the time. But since we have to drive over, it’s a bit of a hassle to get to this lovely and family-friendly harbour pool. The parking is very tricky. […]

Here’s to a bit of novelty in the kitchen.  And here’s to friends who are great cooks and willing recipe sharers. My friend Lara causes a sensation whenever she brings a meal to any social gathering. She’s an excellent vegan cook, and this is a dish she brought to a party at our house last […]

Ah, this playground is sublime, right on the glittering blue harbour, great views. But a horror if you have a wild child who might leap into that glittering harbour. If you do, steer well clear, this playground will wait until your child has calmed down. Huge sand play area has shade, lovely. Water fountains to […]

How on earth do you pronounce “Winnererremy’?? For years, I’ve been putting that question in the too hard basket and arranging to meet friends at the Flying Fox playground at Mona Vale.
