Lawnhill Drive Park at Nerang sits near the Nerang Forest and is a starting point for some great trail walks. But for those not keen on the bushwalking, there is a fun little playground there too! With lots of swinging, climbing and ninja-type challenges, this park is great for those who like to climb.

Our Summer Bucket List
I'm sharing our Family Summer Bucket List today, our go-to list of things we want to do over the Summer! Whenever we have a ‘what shall we do today’ moment, we can refer to our trusty list and tick something else off! Family Bucket Lists are a great way of getting through school holiday boredom, but also as a way of reminding us to stop and do some of the more simple things in life. Enjoy!
