The Seven Dwarfs From Snow White

Just less than an hours drive from the Melbourne City Center the Grimm Brother's fairy tales come to life as they are acted out using magic little puppets and clever interactive gadgetry.

The Grimm Brothers Famous Fairy Tales have been handed down through generations.

I read them as a child and I read them to my children.

They in turn are now reading them to their little ones and so the tradition goes on.

What a wonderful legacy the Brothers Grimm have left behind.

The Statue of the two skilled and famous brothers stands at the entrance to this magical fairy tale land.

The famous Fairy Park boasts as being the first established and oldest theme park in Australia.

It is an ongoing creation which began on St Nicholas's Day 1959.

Helmut Mayer worked with his parents and their imagination to produce what is now one of the best and most unique amusement parks for children.

The innocence of childhood has been captured and presented for all of us to enjoy here, at Anakie Fairy Park.

What an incredible magic thing for my granddaughter to see.
