If you're looking for a bit of adventure for your older kids (aged 12+) then Southern Adventure Hub is a great option! Approximately 45 minutes drive south of Adelaide, near the McLaren Vale region it's located in a lovely bush setting, with plenty of shade and places to enjoy a picnic. The main features of this adventure space are the 9 metre 2 sided rock climbing wall and continuous high ropes course, and when we say high ropes, we really mean high ropes! We really enjoyed the challenge of the course, and the children's sense of pride on completion. The first few obstacles on the high ropes course were tricky, and the boys were a bit wobbly to start with. It didn't take long for the heart rate to slow though and they settled right in to the challenge.

Our suggestion would be to book ahead of time, and make sure the courses you want…

A bit of 'daddy-daughter' time if you will. Never rock climbed before? Not sure if you are fit enough? Honestly, you have nothing to fear so this experience absolutely applies to all fitness levels. They class this as a 'half-day' experience, but it probably is safer to leave the day open, because all up you won't get out until the early afternoon, by which point you will likely be sorer than that one time your mate dragged you to an F45 class. We were unlucky (or lucky?) enough to have some atrocious weather for our day, which in the end sort of added to the experience if we are honest. The…
