Was doing some searching on what happened to a childhood fun park called Dizzy Lamb Park and came across this blog site. Has some interesting writeups on abandoned buildings, best architecture and projects in Perth.

http://www.6000times.com/

On a side note can anyone suggest some good attractions in the Swan Valley to visit? (other than wineries, chocolate and coffee wink.gif)

The Maze is pretty cool, heaps to do and see but maybe a tad overpriced.
We take the grandkids there occassionally and they love it.

I drove pass the old Dizzy Lamb Park back on the 5th of jan on my way back from a dirt bike/4wd/fishing trip up north and noticed it's now a paintball place. Been a while since i was last up that way, as for what else is there to do in the swan valley? there is a place called supa golf you could always try out.

As for the ice cream parlour out that way, my own personal experience i thought it was kinda average. Basically wasn't what i thought it would be like but in the end everyone has a different taste.

Swan brewery is better than any winery......
once you are tanked, you can go paintballing next door, or if you are a bit too stiff for that, you can play golf on the brewery's golf course...

There is a bonsai shop/nursery on west swan rd, it's worth stopping in if you're driving past.

Hell yeah! I grew up with that thing (lived in willetton at the time). My Mum reckons they used to sell land from it for the Burrendah estate I think.

LOL! There's a facebook group for it - http://www.facebook....88105468&v=wall
