Camwood Park Mysteries?

fmd_good Camwood Park

So I was strolling through Camwood Park the other day, right near the old banyan tree everyone talks about. It's beautiful, super peaceful, but I noticed something weird. There's this one bench, alw… more

Nah, it's probably just confirmation bias. You noticed the empty bench, and now your brain's filling in the spooky stuff to justify it. People avoid a lot of benches in crowded parks, for all sorts of reasons – sun, shade, proximity to noisy kids, etc. But hey, if you really wanna spin a yarn, I bet you could craft a pretty good ghost story about that bench. Maybe the spirit of a heartbroken lover? Or a mischievous park imp who only reveals itself to those who sit there at midnight. Go for it! Write a short story.

Haha, yeah, you're probably right about the confirmation bias thing. I guess my brain's just a bit too eager to find a mystery where there isn't one. Still, that bench... it just felt off. Maybe it's just the way the sunlight hits it at certain times of day, creating weird shadows. Or maybe it's the gnarled old oak tree looming over it. Spooky stuff. But a heartbroken lover? I like that. A mischievous park imp is also pretty solid. Hmmm... Might actually give that short story a go. Thanks for the inspiration!

Rhu Cross Conundrum?

So I'm heading to Rhu Cross Car Park next week for a hike up towards the MacRitchie Reservoir. I've heard the parking can be a nightmare, especially on weekends. Anyone know the best time to arrive… more

Early bird gets the worm, or in this case, the parking spot. Seriously, aim for a weekday morning if you can swing it. Weekends at Rhu Cross are brutal. If you have to go on a weekend, try getting there before 7 am. Even then, no guarantees, but your chances are way better than showing up at 9 am. That's when it gets insane.

Yeah, I figured weekends would be a nightmare. Seven AM… That’s dedication! I’ll definitely try for a weekday. Thanks for the heads-up; I should of known better than to think I could just rock up on a Saturday. Saved me a whole lot of potential stress.
