So what are we going to do over there?

This park has something for everyone, as you will soon discover by looking at the photo carousel below.

Benches, tables and BBQ facilities
Children's Playground
There is a beach right next door to the park
Spacious picnic area
You can enjoy a short bush walk

The M2M Team encourages you to take your whole family with you, to the park, and that includes your kids and your furry friends too.

We will have a sausage sizzle and we will take an esky full of ice-cold soft drinks. To make sure that you don't miss out on a sausage sandwich with a cold beverage, please register by writing to info@mission2myanmar.org before the 21st of April 2025. In your email please include the number of people coming with you to the picnic.

Registration costs $5 per person. For only $5 you will receive:

  • one sausage sandwich
  • one cold beverage and
  • two raffle tickets to go into the draw to win some electrical appliances

 

If you don't want to register, you can still pay for your raffle tickets on the day by cash or card. However, you might miss out on a grilled lunch.

We cannot predict the weather, but we are confident that it will be a great day for some water sports. We will endeavour to take an assortment of watercraft with us to the venue, which you can rent for a fee.

If paddling is not your cup of tea, maybe a short swim or a game of Frisbee is more up your alley? Whatever the case may be, please protect your skin from the harmful rays of the sun by:

  • wearing a hat
  • wearing sun-proof clothing and
  • applying sunblock to your exposed skin

There is an outdoor shower near the entrance to the beach, so you will be able to wash all the sand off your skin before you get back inside your car. There is also a public restroom at the end of the car park, which you can use if you need to change your clothes.

If you're not familiar with the suburb of Dundowran, please click here to download a map. Brennan Park is about 10-minutes drive from Eli Waters via Pialba Burrum Heads Road.

We hope to see you there!

IMPORTANT NOTICE! If you would like to be a volunteer please write to us at info@mission2myanmar.org.

Q) Can I get a tax receipt for the registration fee?
No, the registration fees will be used to cover the insurance expenses that M2M incurred by running this event.  The registration fees will not be sent to our recipients overseas.  Therefore, you cannot claim a tax deduction for the payment of registration fees.

No, the registration fee is non-refundable.  If you have registered for this event before the Family Picnic - April 2025 begins; and then you fall ill just before the 26th of April, then we will ask you to send us a medical certificate.  Upon receipt of a medical certificate, you will still be eligible to win prizes through the raffle draws.
