About Each Of The Sites: BMX The Jumps
Est. in 2006, The Jumps has always been a popular site for the teens of Okato. It's often packed full of great bikers and others watching on and chilling out. There were 2 tracks but there are fears that The Jumps are on their last legs.

Bom Fire Site
The Bom Fire Site was est well before the Bentons and Lynnes arrived there. There is know exact recorded time it first was used, all we know is it's still used today. Everyone loves going down to see stuff burn!

The Lawn

The Lawn is perhaps the most recognised of the sites. It has played host for the Badminton Champs for the past 3 years. Otherwise The Lawn is used for Fireworks Displays, Parties and Soccer/Rugby games. Back in 2005 The Lawn was a popular place for 'Skidding' using your bike.

Garden 1

This site is perhaps one of Dianne Benton's most prized. It is where she grows fruit and vegies. It is also where the famous Glass House is situated.

Garden 2 And Shed

Vegies and Fruit galore! There is even a nearby paddock with sheep and cows. If your not in to them you can feed the chickens!

The Game Lab

Otherwise known as 'The Lounge'. Although of late it has been come to known as 'The Game Lab' as it welcomed the 'X-BOX' in late 2010. Other than that it is a popluar place for the whole family to settle down and watch Coro.

The Motor Centre

Once Gregory Lynne's most prized site. It is where the Motor Bikes are situated and all the tools you need to fix your Bike and more. The Motor Centre also includes a Freezer and some great Artwork.

The Chop

Probably the most saddest of the sites. This is where the Chickens that live their life here come to die, weather it means it is sick, not laying eggs, or we want a good feed. On a brighter side of 'The Chop' it is often where baby Lambs spend their first days (if they have lost their mother), you can even feed them.

Pond Site

The Pond Site is simply classical. It has a wonderful pond with Fish, Frogs, Dragonflies, and Boatmen. There are many trees around the pond and another beautiful Garden. Perhaps the most romantic and peacful of the sites.

The Pool

The Pool is visable from 'The Lawn'. Not far from the Pool is a Tramp. The Pool is only used in Summer, you can relax and swim in The Pool. It's also a popular place for Water Rugby and Volleyball.

The Oxford Road Event Centre is an amazing place. There is always a bed waiting for you!
