Melbourne Ice Slide

June 26 2016 By melbournemamma 21 Comments

On Friday we headed in to the city for a special preview of the new Melbourne Ice Slide.

 

In case you haven’t heard, the heart of Southbank has been transformed into an action packed winter wonderland for the school holidays, as Eureka Skydeck hosts the giant Variety Ice Slide for kids, parents and the whole of Melbourne to enjoy.

 

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERA

From now until July 17, a thrilling 40-metre long, four-metre high ice slide has been set up alongside Southbank’s waterfront, allowing passers-by to experience the thrill of riding an inflatable tube on the exhilarating journey down the slide.

 

The kids loved racing down the icy slope and didn’t seem to care that it was about -100°C there. Ok, that might be slight exaggeration but it was bloody freezing on Friday.

Open daily from 10am until late, with prices starting at $10 for three ice slides, the Variety Ice Slide is sure to delight all ages and suit all budgets.

    Under a coat that resembles two kids fighting under a duvet, it keeps them guessing. ‘Is she wearing a bra?’. Who knows!

I actually finished this book over a month ago and I actually finished this book over a month ago and it still haunts me. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
It’s definitely not a book for the faint hearted and I found I could only read about 100 pages at a time (it’s 700+ pages) before I’d need a break.⁣
⁣⁣
I wasn’t sure if I was even going to make it to the end but I quickly became invested in the characters and was glad that I did because even though this is an incredibly sad and heartbreaking story, it’s also a story of extraordinary friendships and love.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣.5⁣⁣
⁣⁣
“A Little Life is an immensely powerful and heartbreaking novel of brotherly love and the limits of human endurance.⁣⁣
⁣⁣
When four graduates from a small Massachusetts college move to New York to make their way, they're broke, adrift, and buoyed only by their friendship and ambition. There is kind, handsome Willem, an aspiring actor; JB, a quick-witted, sometimes cruel Brooklyn-born painter seeking entry to the art world; Malcolm, a frustrated architect at a prominent firm; and withdrawn, brilliant, enigmatic Jude, who serves as their center of gravity. ⁣⁣
⁣⁣
Over the decades, their relationships deepen and darken, tinged by addiction, success, and pride. Yet their greatest challenge, each comes to realize, is Jude himself, by midlife a terrifyingly talented litigator yet an increasingly broken man, his mind and body scarred by an unspeakable childhood, and haunted by what he fears is a degree of trauma that he'll not only be unable to overcome - but that will define his life forever.”⁣⁣

I always worry that when I read the second book in I always worry that when I read the second book in a series that I’m not going to enjoy it as much as the first but boy was I wrong with this one. ⁣
⁣
This book is bloody fabulous and I actually think I loved it more than I loved “Beartown” (which was fantastic!!! - see my post last month).⁣
⁣⁣⁣
This beautifully written story has it all; strength, love, family, grief, loyalty, courage and loss. ⁣
⁣
You’ve done it again @backmansk and I cannot wait to read the next one #impatientlywaiting ⁣
⁣⁣⁣
My Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣⭐️⁣⁣⁣⁣
⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣
“Can a broken town survive a second tragedy?⁣
⁣
By the time the last goal is scored, someone in Beartown will be dead . . .⁣
⁣
Us Against You is the story of two towns, two teams and what it means to believe in something bigger than yourself. It's about how people come together - sometimes in anger, often in sorrow, but also through love. And how, when we stand together, we can bring a town back to life.”⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣⁣

Can’t take all the credit for these though, as I bought a DIY brownie kit from the @greatoceanrdchocolaterie⁣

Less than 5 minutes to prepare and only needed to add eggs and butter. Everything else comes in the kit.⁣
