While this is a retail nursery it is also an art gallery and garden related products shop. It has an extensive range of products for anyone interested in gardens and is a lovely place to wander and buy. I am a keen vegetable gardener and the range of plants and seedlings here is always broad and a little different, despite this prices are also competitive. I have always found the staff helpful and I could spend hours in the garden related products part of the store.

Great park for kids to run and build. Lots of fallen branches which make excellent cubby houses to play in. Nice place for a walk, picnic or relaxing jog. Saw kangaroos and different birds... wombat poo but no wombat seen that day! In school holidays there is a forest school program which is great fun (Eco Explorers run it). Lots of different parking areas and walking tracks!

This is a beaut spot that most Melbournians I've talked to don't even know is there! It's great for a relaxing swim or float in the river or exploring the rocky tunnel (water shoes recommended!) A great pastime seems to be the kids tossing balls up in to the tunnel and catching again after it bobs down the mini waterfall. Also a BIG TIP from a comical misadventure I ended up on with my children (that could have been disastrous!) The highlight of jumping in with a tube and peacefully floating around the loop (bend) in the river for an hour was recommended to me so we came all prepared with 4 inner tubes. What I failed to do was double-check which side of the 'bend' we got in!! *Definitely DON'T get in on the left carpark or West side of the loop!!!!* I mistakenly led my children around the river for almost an hour, in the wrong direction, before realising we were lost. After traversing some fun gentle Class 1 (or less rapids) we eventually ran into a large tree blocking the river at a path exiting out to a campground, Longridge Park I believe. Some kind souls gave us a ride back to Pound Bend. A 10 min drive but would have been a 40 min walk with no shoes!

If you are are fitness fanatic, keen walker or just love the great outdoors this is the place to be. Located in Wonga Park, you get to walk along the Yarra River and if you're lucky enough, you might see a mob of kangaroos and echidnas!
