"Estabars has for as long as we can remember supplied some of the best gelato in town, but with Bec wanting to serve only really seasonal and local gelato the challenge was put to the team. Sourcing their flavor inspiration from the seasonal fruits Bec explains, “The chocolate and vanilla are made using cream and milk from the Little Big Dairy Co., and they're the basics and will always be on the menu. The other two flavours are what we have fun with.”More Info: click here"

Their fresh menu, ocean views, seriously good coffee and house made gelato has seen estabar become a firm favourite in Newcastle."

"As well as a fully-fenced playground, it has a lakeside beach. On warm days, it’s a beautiful spot to have a dip or build sandcastles. Please note that Lake Macquarie Council advises that the current can get quite strong coming from the edge of Swansea channel and the beach can drop off suddenly in parts, so its best the kids are supervised at all times."

"Laneway Park in Adamstown is a small park located between residential houses. Locals have set up a children’s community garden and there’s tools and watering cans if your family want to contribute by weeding or watering. For kids, there’s swings (regular and toddler), small play equipment and a couple of wobblies."
