Fairy Tales

Once upon a time in a far away(about an hours drive out of Melbourne towards Geelong) land (Anakie)there was a Fairy Park....where there were actually no fairies but lots of characters from your favorite fairy tales like Little Red Riding Hood, Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs, Cinderella, Pinocchio, Jack and the Beanstalk, Hansel and Gretel, Goldilocks and Rapunzel.

It was a fair drive out to really the middle of nowhere but it was worth it to see the kids' faces light up when they saw some of these fairy tales come alive. Abbey was almost beside herself when she saw a life sized Humpty sitting on the wall as we drove through the park gates.

The park has been around since the fifties and was built by a family who started out making gnomes. They turned a rocky outcrop in the middle of the country into a park that features replicas of scenes from lots of fairy tales complete with animation and a audio recording of the actual fairy tale. Eloise was very excited to see and listen to these tales as she loves her fairy tales.

There was also a great playground where the girls spent nearly two hours in. All the play equipment was homemade and had a medieval Camelot theme.
