When I was a kid, I spent a lot of time on the land across the road, formerly 2 holes of a golf course bought by the education department before I as born, for a tech school that did t open until I started high school. Big gum trees between the 2 former fairways, ti-tree scrub along the back & a virgin bush are at one end, sand bunkers that were the scene for our “list in the desert” games… My friends & I climbed & jumped out of trees, spotted lizards & butterflies, got lost in the jungle & played ball games on the fairways. My own kids had access to similar if smaller reserves & a linear park along a creek. So much fun & adventure. #childhood
