Completed in early 2025, this great playground on the foreshore at Port Pirie overlooks our stunning Flinders Ranges. Complete with rubber soft fall for safety and accessibility, fencing, climbing rope ladders, swings, slides, bridges and water pumps, you can now add this to your playground visit list!
Part of the Port Pirie Riverbank Precinct Stage 1 upgrade, if you are ever in Port Pirie we highly recommend Happy Birds Chips (easily some of the best hot chips in SA)

Find it at: Bowman Park Road, Crystal Brook The incredible new nature play space at Bowman Park Crystal Brook is now open! The photos below just look incredible and we can't wait to head up and have a look on our next road trip. Designed and built by the uber talented folks at Climbing Tree Consultancy (Simon has been promising to show us his shed...which we expect will be EPIC!), built in only 9 weeks (meanwhile painting a toy box has taken me about 3 months so far....) after an idea 3 years in the design and planning, the result is a stunning play space located along the edge of a creek with majestic river redgums and an abundance of local wildlife. What we love is how the whole community has come together for this, with talented local artists and builders providing their amazing skills but also rocks, machinery and other little gems you will find during your adventures. We think they have absolutely nailed it. Just a short drive off the main Highway to Port Pirie and Port Augusta, this is the NEW detour that you just have to take!

Paddle your feet in the water at West Bay and stroll along the shoreline to see what nature treasure has washed up on the sand (swimming is not recommended as the Southern Ocean can be very unpredictable). Keep an eye out for the threatened hooded plover who make their home on the sand. 3.Walk the Weirs Cove Hike (3km / 1hr return) through to Cape du Couedic and enjoy the views of Remarkable Rocks, lighthouse heritage, the Casuarina Islets and the Western KI Marine Park. 4.Before the sun sets head to Remarkable Rocks and watch the changing colours of the sky and rocks. 5.Head…
