Aunt’s motorcycle bucket list – Antoinette + Domenico 21.09.24

The Aunt’s motorcycle bucket list was organised by Emma for her Aunt Antoinette. Emma wrote, “We’re booking it for my Aunty who has terminal cancer, one of her bucket list items is a motorbike ride and it’s her birthday”. We were very happy to be part of making the dream come true.

Our trike rider picked Antoinette and 8 year old Domenico up from a restaurant in Paddington. A group had gathered for lunch. The rest of the group met the trike and passengers in Centennial Park. Our rider took them all on mini rides around this magnificent parkland.

Centennial Park

With 120 fields and venues, 35+ different sports are played in the Centennial Parklands. It is the largest community sports precinct in Australia! The history is also interesting: “Originally a swamp and then set aside as land for the water source for Sydney. Centennial Park was reconstructed as a public park and opened in 1888. Sir Henry Parkes’ vision was to create a ‘People’s Park’ in which the citizens of Sydney could ‘take in the air’ away from the Sydney town centre.”

Mini rides

Our trike rider took a couple of passengers at a time. They did circuits of the park which takes a while because it is a very large and beautiful park. Make sure you ask our rider about the eels, it’s an incredible factual story.

However, the 1.5 hours was up too soon and everyone had a fabulous time. In conclusion, the Aunt’s motorcycle bucket list was definitely a memorable celebration.
