Sightseeing
Our 'backyard' - perfect spot for all ages to get outdoors for a walk, run, scoot, game of soccer, coffee or a visit to the playground. Walk around to Yarranabee Point for a decent, easy (albeit further away from the action) option for New Year's Eve fireworks spot which doesn't require 8hrs camping out for a spot. Great option with kids.
