Fairy Place

Superman writes….

On a very hot Saturday Brenda took me to Fairy Place – oh I was very excited-I had seen this castle from the road and it is only 10 minutes from where we are staying.

Muz was feeling unwell so he and Murray waited for us in the truck. Entrance to the Fairy Place is up a long steep drive – about 300 metres- Murray asked the gatekeeper if he could drop us off, the gatekeeper was not at all helpful, even though Brenda introduced me to him and explained that we would like to take some photos to promote National Year of Reading. So we walked up the steep hill, just as we neared the top a staff member driving down, stopped and offered us a ride to the top-Hurrah!!

Fairy Place is a ‘theme’ park – I guess it must be closest thing to Disneyland that kids in the Geelong  area would see. But it is not rides that the kids see or do. Remember the mechanical fairy tale displays that would appear around Xmas time in the shop windows – well that is what is here – kids get to push a button and watch their favourite fairy tale characters go around and around. The simplicity is incredible, the kids run beserk between displays – this is all up hill – not electric wheelchair friendly, you need to be fit – luckily for me Brenda carried me. But once your kids have run around – they will sleep for a week – so they should – you need your moneys worth - $16 pa and $6 per child.

Puff the Magic Dragon was brightly coloured and stood about 20 metres tall – his eyes lit up – but no climbing was permitted.

I enjoyed meeting the visitors to the park and viewing some of my favourite characters.

Kids under 8 would love the park. Has anyone been to it?

There are more photos but it takes ages to download - Brenda will email them to interested parties, especially BB team, if requested.
