Hidden gems



We took a bit of an impromptu trip out to Central Gardens in Merrylands today to meet up with the Allam's. We had a lovely, relaxing morning in the park catching up over morning tea.

It was our first visit to this park which I found using the Playground Finder app on my phone. It's got a couple of playgrounds for the kids, lots of grass for running around but the most unique thing about this place is the animals. There were some chickens roaming around (and being chased by numerous young boys) as well as aviaries and enclosures with Emus and Kangaroos. Some of the enclosures look a little tired and run down but it looks like they're in the middle of doing some renovations. All of this for free! 

I'm a Sydney girl born and raised but I'm always amazed at the little surprises that seem to be around every corner and how much of the city I'm still yet to discover.
