Summer arrives with a blast

AS temperatures soared last week, with Tuesday and Wednesday reaching over 35 degrees, families and friends headed for popular water spots in the Yarra Valley.
Jay Edwards and best friend Harley showed Queensland visitor Vesna how Healesvillians cool off when the temperature rises with a swim in the Yarra River at Everard Park on Tuesday.
Grandparents, Rose and Barry Mace took sisters Indiana Mace, 2, and Livinia, 7, for a dip early on Wednesday in a bid to beat the heat.
Parents sat under the shade as children splashed happily in Healesville’s outdoor pool last Wednesday. A constant queue lined the deep end of the pool to have a go of the giant inflatable obstacle course.
Cameron Gilder held on to the slippery head of the inflatable beast for dear life and laughed as his friend Zak Gilsenan scrambled to keep his footing.
