Sports oval in the valley
This one is on the main road and we pass it almost daily. You might notice some
galahs fossicking for food in the foreground. Oval is a popular area for cricket and
the various football codes depending on the season. The locals exercise their dogs here
on a regular basis. The Community Centre shares the grounds along with tennis courts
and other sporting devices.

War Memorial 1914-18
Moved from the centre of the adjoining and larger town of Blackwood,
relocated alongside a community oval and reception centre. There are names on 3 sides of the memorial, many who are also listed were members of families who attended the Coromandel Valley Primary School when it first opened.

Sturt Linear Park.
We call it a creek rather than a river...
The linear park follows the creekline for a few kilometres
and is popular as a walking trail and a place to walk the dog.

Sturt Creek from the footbridge.
Just a gentle flow today, but after a downpour the ford is often closed to traffic.
