With the temps rising and the need for clothes diminishing, make your next family holiday fun and stress-free at one of these waterparks across the country.
Discovery Parks – Barossa Valley
Discovery Parks has also recently opened Discovery Parks – Barossa Valley.
This one has five different ‘splash’ areas, two slides and hundreds of jets and sprays.
Accommodation is also very affordable and family-friendly with prices starting at $35 for four to six people.
The Barossa is the gateway to Australia’s best wine region too, so why not kill two birds with one stone?!
