Nestled into the gently rolling hills of South Gippsland is a veiled park, unseen from the road that takes you from Inverloch on the coast, through Leongatha, past the park and onto Mirboo North and the LaTrobe Valley. The Park is home to massive ancient trees, open lawn spaces and is bordered by a river. There is a a permanent sound shell in the middle of the lawns beautifully framed by the old trees.
You are welcome to BYO food and drink (NO GLASS) and can also buy from an array of local food, wine, ale and craft vendors in the park on the day. Car Parking is FREE. No animals allowed. The atmosphere is supremely relaxed, bring your own rug or chair. Dancing will always happen front of stage so if you want to sit undisturbed move back a little. The park is spacious and there is enough room for those that wish to dance, those that wish to relax under the trees or take walks in the park and along the river. Children are welcome but PARENTS be aware that children are not to go into the river and it is YOUR responsibility, not ours, to keep them safe.
Any queries concerning Mossvale or any other Lyrebird event can be made by phone to Suzanne or Ian on 5664 9239 or via email: suzanne230@wideband.net.au
