Quad Biking (see previous post) wasn’t the last of our adventure in Port Stephens.
On the drive back from our farmstay at Nelsons Bay, Nath and I decided to stop off at Toboggan Hill Park. This is an adventure park situated in Salamander Bay a few minutes drive from Nelsons Bay.
The highlight of the park is their toboggan run. You climb into a black plastic toboggan (which is very similar to the Sentosa luge in Singapore) which has a lever which controls your acceleration and braking (forward to go, back to slow).
We were first pulled to the top of the run by a conveyer belt and then once you’re at the top, we whooshed down the 1 km slippery route which has 11 bends.
It was really good fun and in the second time round, I was more confident and zoomed even faster around the bends.
There were a couple of other activities at the park, such as a dilapidated putt-putt course and a climbing wall. But on the ‘net they don’t make it a secret that they’re trying to sell the park to make way for apartments – so no wonder it’s a little wilted.
