It’s called The Shores Eatery for a reason! You’ll find this fabulous cafe right on the foreshore at Wallaroo at the end of the Jetty – we think it’s one of the best places to eat on the Yorke Peninsula. Great food, great views, great service and a great welcoming vibe for the kids. Let’s start with that- as soon as we walked in the kids spotted the basket of bubbles and chalk on the counter and were thrilled to be...

Right across the road from the Minlaton Caravan Park and the Minlaton Playground is the HJ & Brian Cook Native Animal Reserve. You can’t go inside, but take the kids for a walk around the perimeter to have a look at the emus, wallabies and birdlife. There are a few shady seats around the outside for you to sit and watch the animals. The emus were as curious about us as we were about them and followed us the whole way around! When we...

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 Capri is an independent not-for-profit cinema run by a network of generous volunteers. Built in 1941, it is heritage listed and houses the Theatre Organ Society’s unique world class theatre pipe organ. This is a real movie experience for those who love that old-school cinema experience, whilst still retaining those little luxuries we are now used too (the upstairs seats are new and SUPER comfy). The decor in the ground floor and mezanine...

Who doesn’t love a burger? The KiA team have slipped on their stretchy pants (ok that was just Tim) and taken to the streets to find the best family burgers.

We want fresh buns, tasty flame grilled meats, fancy...

Half of the Kids in 91¹û¶³´«Ã½ team pinked up and went out to see the Barbie movie this weekend. The youngest is 8 years old, the oldest is….. (don’t worry we’ll keep that a secret Nanna)We’ve all had different opinions on it. No one hated it, most of us loved it, a couple of us thought it was good but not as great as was hoped, and isn’t that in itself actually just brilliant. We’ve all been out with our families this weekend, to see a...

They’ve got to have gentle waves, no strong sweeps or currents, they have to...
