The hills are alive with the sound of toddler and kiddie delights! Kalorama playspace is so lovely! It boasts a central play structure that is the plastic-timber variety, complete with easy to access stairs, climbing wall and two wavy slides. Mamma loves not having to pick up a 2 year old up every time she wants to zoom down the slide again and again, as she can handle the stair way on her own.

We also love striking a pose in the mirror as well. At Kalorama you will also find the birds nest swing, a bright orange spinner and plenty of leaf matter to throw around. This is a great place to stop if you are spending the day in the hills and you need some room to play and run.

Mamma's special mention: The Karwarra Garden Australian Native Botanic Garden is within walking distance and makes for a lovely walk through the garden, exploring all the tracks and pathways amongst the native foliage.
