25.01.2022 Tiny and Big MAC are getting ready for the school kids to start coming in in a few weeks, it’s been a while since they’ve had all the attention on them again!

25.01.2022 Hi Everyone! Hope you are all keeping cool in this heat! We are fully booked for both Saturday the 16th and Sunday the 17th! If you could please let us know if you are needing to cancel prior to the day as soon as possible so we can fill your spot with the next in line! ... Can’t wait to see you all there!

24.01.2022 Easter camping update! Well the epidemic is sure causing some stir isn’t it! The nature of our event is low risk for spreading the virus in that it is in an outdoor environment and it is existing family groups that are in close contact for most of the time. ... We have under 500 campers and will never be indoors for any activities. BUT in saying that we are taking some proactive measures to combat the issue, We have cancelled the outdoor movie (due to minimising larger group gatherings) We have organised more staff for cleaning/disinfecting public areas (toilets, kitchen etc) We are looking at spreading the Easter egg hunt into 3 groups to minimise larger group gatherings. If you are suffering flu like symptoms, have been in recent contact with others suffering flu like symptoms, or are in a high-risk category, it is expected that you will take appropriate action and not attend our event. This is a very hard time for us like many others, and we are trying our best to still provide a great weekend that so many of you have been wanting us still to go ahead with! If you have any questions feel free to give Jamin a call personally and we can chat more on 0429778875

08.01.2022 Easter campers! We’ve had a lot of people asking us if we will be cancelling our Easter event this year due to the Coronavirus. We don’t see the need to cancel our event, we won’t have thousands of people there all in one area! So get those Easter hunt baskets ready for a big weekend!

07.01.2022 How’s this for a modern twist on the game of capture the flag!! Over 2000 glow sticks in pitch black darkness!! (the camera brightens it up a bit) One team has to get the blue sticks to one side, the other has to get the yellow! This should wear these students out tonight!

07.01.2022 Unfortunately we have decided to stay closed to the public till at least October at this stage! As that is when our schools start up again hopefully!!! But check out tiny’s winter coat in full swing! Him and Big Mac are really loving having the whole place to themselves! Even if we have turned off the grass irrigation!

07.01.2022 Due to our Easter event being cancelled we have 4000 small Easter eggs we want to give away! Do you know someone or a business doing it tough that need some chocolate to cheer them up! We will be giving away 8 lots of 500 of these eggs!! Just tag them below and we will pick out 8 people or businesses to spread some Easter love this Easter!

06.01.2022 Get ready for 2021! Public waterslide days will be released shortly for Early Janurary! Stay tuned for a exciting fun day sliding and enjoying family time these school holidays!

03.01.2022 The waterslide got a light make over! Thanks to nick from Electric Steel for removing our old lights and installing some super new bright and power efficient LEDs! Even this weeks camp is enjoying a night slide tonight under them!

03.01.2022 Since the weather has warmed up I decided to go for a quick flick while waiting for a group to arrive this morning 2 minutes in and pulled in this beautiful 60cm Barra! Look how healthy they are looking! But will there be a metery in here this year?!!

02.01.2022 Time to hang up the hat for a few months Well we’ve come to the desision today to shut down until further notice...this comes after the cancellations of all our school camps and other private functions. We hope to reopen in August (if this virus goes away) Unfortunately this means we have to lay off all our staff and cancel our Easter event! ... We are currently talking to our ticket organiser to refund all Easter event tickets, we ask that you please be patient at this time as they are also flat out dealing with refunds of other events also! We have tried to remain open for as long as possible this year but this virus has taken a serious toll on our income for the year! But we hope to see everyone again once this is all over!! Thanks again! Jamin and Ashlee
