Your children are bound to need a rest after all the excitement of life as a ranger, so scoot the family down to the Dust Temple to get a pick-me-up. This quirky cafe cross art gallery is the perfect place to put your feet up for an hour and enjoy a barista coffee while the children sit down by your side and scan through the endless books  scattered throughout this coffee shop. If you’re all feeling peckish, grab a sweet treat or a wholesome snack from the bar. Take a walk through the gallery (holding your children’s hands securely so there are no mishaps) and feast your eyes upon the amazing work from both local and national artists. If you love what you see, but finding it a little difficult with the rascals, head back another afternoon and attend one of the many art exhibitions at the Dust Temple.
