A sisterhood is created between these diverse women as they realise that menopause is no longer the silent passage! Tickets: Adults $45.00, Concession $40.00 and at the Door $50.00.

Goomalling - Oak Park
Oak Park Picnic Area and Walk Trail
Located approximately 20km north east of Goomalling. Oak Park has a diverse array of flora and there is always something for the keen photographer to snap. Rain has begun to fill the waterway and we look forward to seeing the Serpent Sculpture in flood once again. The trail now has a bough shelter over one of the seats carefully crafted by one of our Aboriginal Elders in 2008. Please drive carefully on the Oak Park Road as you may come across some Kangaroos. Walking deep into the lake area provides more photo opportunities of gnaled and weathered trees. Facilities at the Picnic Ground include a BBQ, a long drop toilet and covered seating. The Walk Trail signage has lots of information and is a great way to begin your exploration of this special piece of Goomalling. For more information please click on the following link: www.goomalling.wa.gov.au/news/oakpark.
