core/list

<ol type="1"><li><strong>Hammond Park, Lamington</strong><br>A luscious parkland with several spaces to set up a picnic. Take your pick - beside the duck pond? Or underneath the historic rotunda? Pack your picnic hamper with ingredients for gourmet burgers and take advantage of the on-site barbeques. Enjoy the tranquil wildlife with peacocks, kangaroos and emus galore and an amazing playground to keep the kids entertained.<br></li><li><strong>Karlkurla Park, Hannans</strong><br>Set amongst a beautiful woodland setting, take a walk through the winding trail, across a bridge and up the hill to Karlkurlas’ Katunga lookout. You will be treated with a spectacular view of the bush while enjoying your lunch. With a bonus work-out on the way back down to your car. &nbsp;&nbsp;<br></li><li><strong>Centennial Park, Great Eastern Hwy</strong><br>The best part about Centennial Park is no BYO food required! In what has become a bit of a food truck hub, you will find burgers, coffee, Thai cuisine and several traveling varieties to enjoy. Just bring your rug and enjoy the luscious lawn.<br></li><li><strong>Lake Douglas, Great Eastern Hwy</strong><br>A stone’s throw from town (only 10 kms) you’ll find Lake Douglas, a shaded wetland reserve that’s perfect for a sunset picnic. Don't forget to pack the marshmallows! </li></ol>

<p> 5. <strong>WA Museum (Goldfields), Hannan Street, CBD</strong>&nbsp;&nbsp; &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;<strong>&nbsp;<br></strong>     At the top of Hannan street you’ll find the WA Museum of the Goldfields. With traveling exhibitions and an    <br>     underground gold room to explore, don’t forget to leave time to enjoy lunch. Choose from the courtyard picnic <br>     tables under the weeping trees and surrounded by old miners’ cottages or take the elevator to the top of the <br>     headframe and enjoy your lunch with a view of historic Hannan Street.</p>
