Picnic on Melbourne Cup Day 2012

Picnic at Jells Park, 6 Nov-2012

Tuesday 6th November, 2012, 10:00 am Jells Park (Ashes Picnic Area), Wheelers Hill Jells Park turned out to be unexpectedly popular on Melbourne Cup day.  Some of the Committee Members got to the park before 9:30 am but the shelters around the Ashes picnic area had already been taken.  But we managed to get a couple of picnic tables with shade.  We practiced some Tai Chi and then started lunch. Even though there was a brief moment that we had a light shower, that did not dampen our enthusiasm at all.  We had a fantastic time with lots of food.  Susan's curry heated up with a small portable gas stove was a highlight as well as salads, cakes and other yummy food. We had a good walk after lunch even though we did take a wrong turn and walked longer than expected.  We eventually found the cafe up on the hill overlooking the Jells Park lake.  Some decided to have a coffee, ice cream or other refreshments and relaxed in the cafe with the nice view for a while.
