Family Day at Luna Park

The weather on our Family day at Luna Park started overcast, windy and threatening to rain, just your normal day in Melbourne, four seasons in one day. We were to meet at 10:30 so if anyone was interested in getting a coffee there was time before the place opened. Sandy and Gibbo arrived, then some of the guys from Gippsland and finally Fugue and one of his daughters and Stevo and Annie.

The Park was scheduled to open at 11:00 but that didn't happen, not that we were to concerned as it gave us time to have a bit of a chat whilst we waited for any others to turn up. The weather was changing into a nice fine and sunny day with a small breeze.

We decided to go in and those that were interested brought tickets, one ride on anything was 7 dollars but you could buy a ride ticket for 35 dollars or so and you could ride as many times as you liked. A few of us had rides on a couple of different types, but I think the funniest was Gibbo, Fugue, Stevo and the others all on dodgem cars I'm just glad they don't ride like they drive.

After a while we had lunch and for me finally a coffee. The prices weren't to expensive for what you had and the hamburger had to be the best price. Lunch was aloud to settle before back to the rides some going on the same ride for about the fourth time but how do you tell your son, a 21 year old, that he's had enough.

By mid afternoon most of us had had a ride on everything we could, some more than once. So we said our goodbyes to the Gippsland guys and headed home. The ones that where there had a really good day. The disappointing thing for the day was that only a few turned up. You don't have to have kids to go on a family day.
