They did it! The Kingaroy Kindergarten’s “Blitz Day” on Saturday has been hailed a great success by organisers with about 40 volunteers finishing off the all-important playground and garden areas.

Some volunteers were up in the air, working on the roofs of the shade structures, while others were down on their hands and knees, planting flowers and shrubs.

Others were mixing concrete or wielding power tools.

But the effort has all been worthwhile. The finished area includes gardens, a sand pit, a mud pit (complete with its own water pump and mini watercourse), shade areas and a cubby house.

A mini-stage has been erected in one corner and a bicycle path winds through the garden.

Two established trees – golden ashes donated by the South Burnett Regional Council – also grace the new garden.

As the the day progressed, turf was laid and watered in.

The kindergarten kids are now closer than ever to moving into the new building.

Pavers are still to be laid at the front of the building to thank the companies and individuals who have supported the project.

And the carpark area is taking shape. The formwork was put in place on Monday ready for the concrete pour.

The kindergarten work site was a hive of activity on Saturday with trees being planted, a watercourse being built, sand and mud pits installed and shade shelters constructed
