Price Community Playground | Yorke Peninsula

Find it at: Fowler Terrace, Price We have found the perfect stop for the kids to stretch their legs, get some fresh air and have a snack while you are road tripping on the Yorke Peninsula. Price is on the eastern side of the leg (back of the thigh, if you will!), about half an hour before Ardrossan. It’s not a huge town, it’s known mainly for its salt processing plant but the playground sits on the edge of the town adjacent the salt flats and...

The Vine Shed, McLaren Vale

We love a family friendly winery and they don’t come much better than Vine Shed, in McLaren Vale on the wonderful Fleurieu Peninsula. If you haven’t been here yet, clear the diary and book in for lunch, wine tasting or some live music with the whole family at this stunner of a cellar door! The Vine Shed is so much more than a cellar door however – it is a full blown family friendly restaurant, wedding venue and live music...

Do The Royal Adelaide Show for 100 Bucks

It’s Show Time baby! The Royal Adelaide Show is back from 31 August – 8 September 2024, and we couldn’t be more excited! But as fellow parents, we know that the thought of a day out at the Show can be a bit overwhelming, especially with the potential for a hefty price tag. If you’re okay with letting the kids spend the day in the Carnival area, collecting more Showbags than they can carry, and enjoying every sweet treat in sight, your...

Best Fish & Chips in Adelaide

FISH AND CHIPS. Who doesn’t love it? Whether it’s fish & chips at the beach on a hot night, or something to warm you up in winter, you really can’t go past the local fish & chip shop. Battered, crumbed, grilled or deep fried, there is just something about unwrapping the paper to reveal a delicious piece of fresh fish, being gently hugged by crispy hot chips. But fish & chip shops are so much more that just fish...

Pull the shorts out of the cupboard, stock up on suncream & put the umbrellas away – SPRING IS HERE!!

If your kids have spent the winter months watching waaaaaay too much YouTube, I have some great spots for you to visit in Spring. Not just anywhere,...

Charlie’s Diner at Brighton Metro

We recently booked a Saturday lunch at Charlie’s Diner with in The Brighton Metro, to check out the brand spanking new indoor playground and our opinion remains, we think this places is the bees knees with kids or when you have a family celebration or multiple tastes to cater.

Minlaton Caravan Park, Yorke Peninsula

It is a short 2 hours drive from Adelaide, South Australia centrally located on the Yorke Peninsula in the scenic township of Minlaton. There are stunning beaches only a 15 minute drive either side of Minlaton so you could easily stay for a few nights and cover off several beaches PLUS...

Tamara Craft, Party Boxes and Decorations

We were lucky enough to have Tamara Craft create some party favour boxes for our son’s fourth birthday recently and we could not have been happier with the result! Tamara is one talented woman! With the theme of Zebras and Turtles for the party (the birthday boy’s favourite things!), Tamara created three different boxes for us to fill with lollies for the guests and she came up with the most gorgeous designs. Not only did she make...

Hooray Today, Balloon Garlands and Arrangements

We had been eyeing off the stunning creations from Hooray Today on Instagram from awhile, so when it came time to find a balloon supplier for our son’s 4th Birthday, we of course reached out to Skye from Hooray Today and we could not have been happier with the result! The party was being held at AFL Max and the theme was Zebras and Turtles – an interesting combo we know, but when the birthday boy’s favourite things in the...

If you are looking for a free family outing in Winter or Spring, why not take a drive and go exploring our beautiful waterfalls? Kids are mad for them (there is something a bit magical about them!),...

Taste the Yorke, Moonta

I think I just died and went to brunch heaven. I definitely have a new contender for best brunch on Yorke Peninsula…while staying in Moonta, we dropped into Taste The Yorke, a delightful and delicious café on the main drag in town. Run by Jo and her lovely staff, Taste The Yorke gives locals and tourists alike somewhere to support local Yorkes businesses in more ways than one. The café consists of mainly outdoor seating around an...

Polgreen Park Playground, Moonta

Copper Coast Putt Putt

The Copper Coast Tourism Centre at Kadina offers a really impressive putt putt course which will get those family competitive juices flowing. As someone who takes putt putt quite seriously, I was very impressed with the quality of the course and the variety of challenging holes. This was definitely one of the highlights of our holiday! Sometimes putt putt can be a little on the lower end on the fun scale if the place isn’t up to scratch, but...

Splash Town, Moonta

Did you know that Splash Town at Moonta Bay Foreshore on the Yorke Peninsula is an entirely FREE waterpark for kids and families? Think waterslides, tipping bucket and a whole heap of waterplay fun. It’s a fantastic community facility, open for every one to use. South Australia has some really great little water parks and water slides, however a lot of them are hidden in various tourist parks and only available for use of their customers,...

Farm Shed Heritage Museum, Kadina

A hidden gem and definite highlight at the Copper Coast Tourism Centre activity list was the Farm Shed Heritage Museum. The name is deceiving – I was expecting a single shed with a few tractors and boy, was I wrong! It comprises of a seemingly unending number of displays, large sheds and warehouses housing a range of historical and current day farming machines and tools. Every kid loves a tractor and they won’t be disappointed here. Take...
