Warners Bay Sculpture Walk

The Warners Bay Foreshore is a major recreational drawcard for Lake Macquarie, and a popular stop-off point on a shared pathway that runs from Eleebana to Boolaroo and Booragul.

Chinchilla Botanic Parklands

A $5.9 million project that spans 4.2 hectares, co-funded by Western Downs Regional Council and the Queensland Government. The town is known as Australia’s melon capital. It produces 25% of the country’s watermelons, rockmelons and honeydew, and hosts a biennial Chinchilla Melon Festival including a melon skiing event. Honouring the iconic pink and green fruit, a custom designed Water Play Area is a showpiece of the Parkland’s playscapes. “The watermelon theme resonates with Chinchilla; including it in this space is an appropriate way to celebrate this important symbol of cultural identity and enhance the native planting scheme used elsewhere,” says Parklands landscape architect Mandy Rounsefell, Director of Rounsefell Design. Rounsefell collaborated with Playscape Creations on custom play equipment including a giant watermelon bucket that fills and cascades over, and pop-jets …
