Shields Lane Park

This is a great park, with a great walk along the river. The park itself is basic but great for taking the family or doggo out. It has lots of parking, toilets' and table and chairs under a shelter. The walk itself has lots of chairs along the way to rest. This place is good for those who may be wheelchair bound, lots of parking room and nice flat paved surface.
This is a great walk, ride, skate, scooter along the river. Very pretty, birds squirrels and the like along the way. You then back on to some fishing lakes, golf course and some very nice houses, all the while you are right beside the river. This is such a great waling trail for all ages, suitable for wheel chairs as well.
We had such a great day with Caloundra Jet Ski. Jo who took our booking and rearranged a few things to fit us in with the ski tour we wanted, which was Glasshouse Twist. Jo was awesome with her communication keeping us up-to-date. Jack too was awesome our guide, he has a really good way about him with his instructions, coaching and guidance, he made the trip very enjoyable. Skis were in good shape and I got up to 76klm per hour at one stage, plenty quick enough for me! The day was picture perfect, scenery perfect water and beaches were also great. One of my best days for an outing. To top it off some really great places to eat and drink when you have finished. Thanks Jack and Jo for a great day.

Good bakery, good range of items. We brought a range of goodies, all was nice! Cream buns were especially good! Line up of people trying to get in here, they only real place to get fresh bread and really good pastry and sweet items. The only down side this place is cash only... no EFTPOS.

This is a really great walk, with a great views at the end of it. Make the effort to participate in one of Tasmania’s sixty short walks. The walking trail is very easy, starts off on a flat even rocky quartz road. You then turn right and it is now more of a trail. We went just after rain so it was a little sloshy and the timber slats that are there to assist with the wet weather have seen better days. While the timber slats needs replacing, the trail was still fine to walk on and still very easy. As you are heading up to the look out it is a gradual climb. My wife and I are in our fifties and my wife by her own admission would say she is not fit in the slightest… we found this trail easy walking. You walk through some really nice covered forest then come to a clearing and you start to enjoy your view. The last section is a timber structure with a few stairs for your 360 degree look out, which includes the Franklyn river. The weather in Tassie is so unpredictable, it was slightly raining when we went and we weren’t sure how good a view we would get, as you can see it stopped raining and we got a great view well worth the walk. Parking is easy, you could get a car and van in here no worries. No toilets here though…
