'People might say, "Why there?" Well, that was one of Olivia's favourite places. She used to go there with her mum,' Peter told hosts Kylie Gillies and Larry Emdur.
'In fact, there is a park bench in the gardens there dedicated to her mum. And she used to live in Jolimont not far and they used to go there all the time.'
He went on to say the gathering would not be 'a big all-star extravaganza like we saw with Shane Warne earlier in the year'.
