Of all of the SA reservoirs, Barossa Reservoir with its famous 'Whispering Wall' is surely a favourite for kids. It doesn't involve a big walk or hike and it is THE most magical experience to have one person whisper at the end of the reservoir wall and another hear it...
Ahhh mini golf, miniature golf, putt-putt, mini putt, 'the place where dad gets angry and over-competitive'. Known by many names and enjoyed by all (except parents of 6 year olds who think they are playing hockey and belts balls at a million miles an hour all over the...
