A Picnic in the Park
The first GeoFamily picnic for 2019 was a Winters day well spent
To some, winter means snuggling up inside, on the couch with a book or sporting match. For the GeoFamily picnic attendees, a winter day is best spent at a great local playground rugged up for a Mad Hatter’s picnic! The hats on display were more functional, to keep the head warm instead of ‘mad hatter tea party’ but just as much fun was had at the Pityarilla Playspace (formerly Marshmallow playground) in Adelaide’s southern parklands.
The event, which is held 2-3 times per year across Adelaide’s inner suburbs, attracted 10-15 families from the GSA, AusIMM, ASEG, and across mining and petroleum, plus government sectors. The kids had a great time exploring the new nature playspace and the adults had a lot of news, events, work and life to catch up.
On over the course of the two hours. Thankfully dodging the rain showers that had kept Adelaide wrapped up inside all the Sunday morning, the picnic had home cooked treats to share under the iconic Moreton Bay Fig that dominated the playground.
A big thank you to everyone who came, and make sure to invite friends and colleagues along for the next event – hopefully planned for August/September.
