Take five Ice Cream Parlour

Take 5 Ice Cream Parlour - Baldivis Square Hot day? Take 5 and go get some ice cream from Take 5 Ice Cream Parlour in Baldivis Square, it’s truely delicious!

We eventually decided on the Ferrero, their current sell out ice cream. Salted caramel with swirls of real caramel, Bounty for the coconut lover, Banana and Nutella (my absolute favourite) and a scoop of Strawberry Sorbet for our little Miss and we were not disappointed! Fresh creamy ice cream and tangy sorbet all packed full of real flavour.    They are always trying out new and exciting flavours and combinations like white chocolate and tim tams, a pineapple sorbet and caramel slice; see their facebook page for updates and promotions.    I honestly can’t wait to go back and try some of the other flavours on offer, the waffles and fr

Vista Play park is situated along the Mandurah road in the new Vista Estate Singleton,  just 20 mins south of Rockingham and 10 mins from Mandurah. It is the perfect location for a nature play date, morning tea or an after school run around.     There is a great climbing structure with a slide, pole and a spiders web frame leading up to the main cubby area which, is covered perfect for the warm weather arriving.        The rest of the activities in the park are all made out of logs! Lots of large logs to balance across which vary in difficulty. My three year old loved the challenge and spent ages trying to get across them all! There are lots of balancing log pathways to master all across the park, with different sized elevated logs to practice balancing skills on.        You can't miss the flying fox it is huge and covers the length of the park, it has one seat with a safety harness and one without, it is a great addition to the park. There is also a good sized oval next to the par
