New sites for you!

Campbelltown Council have launched a new, mobile-friendly website detailing services, facilities and events.

There's also a new website called Macarthur Grapevine which aims to "connects some of the most exciting parts of Campbelltown City and the Macarthur region, and brings them together for you to explore." Unfortunately the page wouldn't open for me so I can't tell you anything about it.

Another website listing new to this site is eventfinda where you can search for events by region or even suburb.

What's your favourite website for finding out about upcoming events in the local area?

Inflatable World

No, Macarthur's newest attraction is not a place where you go and inflate things. It is a place full of jumpy / bouncy castles - perfect for expending excess energy now that the school holidays are here. We went when it first opened and it was pretty busy but I observed it cleared out around lunchtime so yesterday afternoon we went back for a return visit and there were no queues.

Adults can join in the fun too or sit and watch. Entry for participants is $15, with special pricing for children under 5. There is a sectioned off area for younger children next to the cafe so little ones can bounce and run while parents enjoy a drink. The venue is stroller friendly and there is plenty of parking.

In addition to the hoop run above there is a velcro wall, a 'cliff jump' and a 'jousting' arena. Lots of fun for all ages. Note that socks are required to be worn. 

Inflatable World is located at 1/79-83 Anderson Road, Smeaton Grange (next to Maximum Skating rink). They are closed now for the holidays but will re-open 4th of January and throughout the school holidays.

November Rain

 Rizal Park, Rosemeadow

It's November and that means unpredictable weather but more excitingly Fisher's Ghost! That's right, it's once again that time of year when we get to experience a parade, a street fair, outdoor gigs and movies, an art exhibition, carnival and fireworks - mostly FREE and all to celebrate the ghostly appearance of Fred Fisher, intent on guiding a local farmer to his body and thus solve the mystery of his disappearance 189 years ago.

For a full calendar of events check out the Festival of Fisher's Ghost website.

And if it's Fisher's Ghost, that must mean Christmas is just around the corner. If you happened to be at Macarthur Square this morning you may have witnessed the jolly man himself arriving, with his sizeable entourage, ready for those all essential Christmas photos. You can find out more about Santa's arrival at Macarthur Square's website. (Oh and a tip for parking - try the middle floor car-park, Big W end. Yes it's still open!)

Finally, if you're as organised as I am you're already thinking about planning for 2016 there's no more gorgeous way to do it than with Leonie Dawson's amazing 2016 workbooks + NEW weekly planner.

Maximum Skating

Looking for something to keep the older kids active? Or perhaps learn a new skill, or even rekindle an old one? Maximum Skating offers a HUGE skating rink for rollerskate and inline skate sports. They have activities and sessions for all ages from pre-schoolers to adults and cater for individuals through to corporate groups, birthday parties and schools. If you've never skated before or if - like me - the last time you wore rollerskates was when Madonna wore a ra-ra skirt, Maximum Skating hold regular learn to skate sessions for both kids and teens/adults.

Maximum Skating is found at Max Arena, an international sized rink (52m x 25 m) surrounded by hockey tempered glass barriers. There is plenty of seating for spectators and a kiosk provides coffee and snacks. We've found the staff to be very friendly and helpful.

Ample underground parking and a ramp up to the front door for strollers or possibly those already wearing their skates.

Max Arena can be found at 75 Anderson Road, Smeaton Grange (at the end of Anzac Avenue).

For more info check out their website at: http://maximumskating.com.au or find them on Facebook for up to date events and session times.
