Kilsyth

Kilsyth situated 34kms from Melbourne, is a little suburb settled at the base of The Dandenong mountains.

In this little outer eastern suburb we manage to find some remarkable things that the family can enjoy doing. These are tucked away throughout the local area and sometimes it can be sheer luck that they are found. Almost like cherished secrets.

Like most of Melbourne's outer suburbs it can be fun to explore just what can be found to see and do without actually having to travel too far or spend too much. Fascinating finds in a simple little suburb on the outskirts of Melbourne.

Finding these sorts of places can sometimes be quite difficult here are some great sources of local information that can be used.

• The Local Yellow Pages Directory.
• The Local Council.
• Wikipedia.
• Local Kindergartens, Schools
• The local Traders.
• The Local Newspaper.

In just about any Melbourne suburb you will find little treasures tucked away in side streets or sandwiched between neighborhood houses.

The Mooroolbark Miniature Railway

Steam Train collectors are passionate about their little beauties and the public are able to share their enthusiasm on every 4th Sunday of the month.

The rides are very reasonably priced and all the proceeds go to improving the facilities.

Do be sure to wear closed in shoes, this is for insurance reasons.

Big and little kids enjoy these little locos as they steam along the rails, we managed to dodge the bushrangers, avoid the Indians and finished off the whole experience with a typical "Aussie Barbie" in the parklands that surround.

All in all a great day out for the Family in downtown suburban Kilsyth.

The Eastfield BMX Club

The Eastfield BMX Club boasts The Best BMX Tracks to race on.

Check them out for yourself.

The locals would love you to come on down, enjoy a snack or two from the kiosk and cheer the riders on.
