The playground was open for the school holidays with the toilet block still to be completed.

I called in one day during the holidays and found the playground full of very happy children.

One of the families was even holding a birthday party under one of the covered areas.

There is also a covered BBQ area were families can come and enjoy a complete day out for the children.

There is every type of equipment you can think of.

There is a flying fox, a modern take on the old see saw, a sand pit in the shape of a dry river bed, play gym area with slides, razzle dazzle and climbing robes in the shape of a roller coaster.

There is even a music section with drums and sound cylinders.

I can say I have never seen anything like it.

Make sure your children take advantage of this wonderful entertainment area before the holidays are over.

There will have a fantastic time.

Last week Gulgong Gold Experience welcomed 79 University Students from the University of Technology Sydney.

The students were part of a volunteer initiative named the Big Lift.

The students travel around rural NSW doing odd jobs in small towns such as painting, gardening etc. and apparently were very well accepted in every town they visited.

During their visit to the Gold Experience the students watched a video on Gulgong and the Gold Rush of 1870 followed by gold panning experience.

Judging by the comments the students really enjoyed their time panning and exploring Red Hill and vowed they would all be back next year.

On September 21st 2019 The Gulgong MPS will hold an open day from 11.00am to 3.00pm.

This is a great opportunity to come and see for yourself what a wonderful health facility we have in Gulgong.

There will be a BBQ lunch and guided tours of the facility during the day.

Everyone is welcome to come along and join in the informative day.
