Well we patiently awaited this new addition to our playground and we have not been disappointed. At the end of 2011 we received a grant of almost $20,000 from Bendigo Bank that has allowed us to keep moving on our playground blitz plans. Approximately $7,000 went to this beautiful dry creek bed with the balance financing a large undercover play area.
The day Will and his workers arrived was very exciting for the children.
Many questions regarding ‘why’, ‘how’ and ‘when’ were posed by the children and a lot of discussion occurred regarding the building process, tools and machinery.
Where did the rocks come from? Why are they flat?
What are those poles for? Why are they so big?
Is that concrete? Why are they doing that?
Are they coming back tomorrow?
In just four days, the job was complete.
Looking sensational and ready for action!

This work was completed by Will and his team from Pumpkin Joes. I can recommend them highly to any other service in Victoria, Australia. They specialize in providing playgrounds to preschools and work brilliantly with staff and children.
