The facilities were a major part of the appeal. Seeing the completed Lodge for the first time was incredible. It is an impressive, modern and warm space that will nurture many social gatherings,\u201d Stephen said.\u00a0<\/p><p>\u201cI haven\u2019t missed my morning laps in the 25-metre pool since it opened, and the gym will be high on our list because remaining active is important to us. The sports bar will also be a favourite for a few drinks and a game of pool with our new friends or watching the Sunday afternoon footy.\u201d<\/p><p>The celebration of opening the clubhouse also included the unveiling of a kookaburra sculpture created by Moreton Bay chainsaw artist Luke Sheehan as a gift from Stockland to homeowners. Positioned near the reserve area behind The Lodge, the sculpture reflects Halcyon Serrata\u2019s natural setting and the local wildlife regularly encountered by homeowners.<\/p><p>\u201cWe hear laughing kookaburras and curlews every day and watch possums make their way from the reserve each night, so the kookaburra is a wonderful representation of the nature surrounding us,\u201d Genevieve
