aMAZEment

Stumble upon attractions with maze when I was surfing the net aimlessly looking up something. A big one that strike my fancy was so far away from Sydney that it is probably nearer to Queensland. However I found another one at Yarramalong Valley, call Amazement.

There are other activities aside from the maze like animal farm, some games like giant draughts and electric cars for kids. We started off by going to see the animals. A miniature horse (thats what I was told by the people there) and 2 ostrich were seperated from the rest of the animals and was a little further away from the main building. As it rained the day before, the earth was a bit muddy and slimy, not the nicest walk as we have to be really careful of not slipping. Back to the miniature horse, it was said that it was naughty, hence was placed with the ostrich. Hmm...

Further up front, nearer to the main building where they are renovating to be a cafe, are horses, donkey and alpaca. There are also chickens and ducks.

There are 3 maze but they were still planting the summer sunflower maze, so we have only seen the Lilli Pilli Maze and The Heart Labyrinth. Umm.. they are pretty small, either that I was imagining it would be much bigger. I'm too short to get any picture that can clearly show the Lilli Pilli Maze but here's one on the Heart Labyrinth cos we could stand on the main building to capture that. And of course, I got the taller tour guide for assistance.

We also tried some other games, including this giant draughts.


In the background you can see little kids getting on the electric cars.

Overall, it was not really big, I would've prefer a much bigger maze. The weather was also threaten to rain, we didnt linger very long. On the positive side, it was rather near the Central Coast, and we dropped by again :)


Side note: Don Bradman was also referred to as "The Don"
