Southside Mums

Hi, i have just moved to the southside and i was wondering if anyone had any 'inside' info that they would like to share?
I have a 2.5 yr old and 9 month old.
any good parks?
other things to do?
good child friendly cafes?
nice walking tracks?
where do you buy your groceries?
Where do you buy your meat?
mums groups? ( i have yet to go to the local playgroups, we just moved 2 days ago...)

We are in Bonython if that helps?

thanks smile

Hi
How are you? I live in queanbeyan and have only moved here a couple of months ago. We went for a walk at the lake on the weekend was really good and great path for prams. There is great fruit market in fyshwick and a good butchers this might be a little far for you though. I have a 10 yr old, 5 yr old and 7 month old.
I have not been to the playgroups either if your interested in coffee and chat just let me know.
Hope your move was good and enjoy Canberra!!!!

Hi Renee

That would be good, yes I hate moving we still have boxes to unpack lol.
Busy so far got the kids settled into school and now just trying to find some other mums to socialize with. We moved from wagga wagga, where have you moved from?
Look forward to meeting you and your bub.

Hey! Im in Kambah, lived in Gordon for a year or so, and grew up in Queanbeyan. Parks wise, depends how far you want to go. Down the road from me is the Kambah Adventure Playground, which is pretty big, and in Gordon there is another "adventure" style playground, its near the dam thats up from Point Hut. Other things to do depends on what your into, I mean, you have the war memorial for a start lol Walking tracks, again depends on how far you want to go, but I know there is a very popular one that comes off Sulwood Drive? I think thats the name of it, there is always heaps of cars parked at the entry. I buy my groceries from the Audi at Lanyon Marketplace, then duck over to Woolies to get the stuff I cant/wont buy from Audi (Ps the Lanyon Woolies is the best I have found in Tuggers, always well stocked and a big variety of things). You can also head out the EPIC on weekends for their farmers markets.

HI and welcome
I have a 4 year old girl and we like the park at Gordon by the pond and I drive up to Erindale shops to buy my meat from the butcher there. They are great. Tidbinbilla is great for going on some great walks and there is a playground area there for the kids. I would recommend getting an annual pass for that. If you are interested in Green Tea Hawaii, I am the local sales agent for that! I love taking my daughter out to Lanyon Homestead for a walk around the grounds and have a nice coffee or hot chocolate outside as there is plenty of room for the kids to run around without bothering anyone and it is lovely. I hope that all helps. Oh and I like John Brennan Hair dressers at Tuggeranong Hyperdome.
