The Giant Swing offers a thrilling swing out over the canyon. You can view videos of this on our Facebook page. Cost of Giant Swing: $15 for two. We find people like to test the safety of the equipment on their first swing and most often, don’t chose to go to the maximum height. We offer two swings to allow everyone the opportunity to gain confidence and go to the max. The Giant swing is offered on Saturdays throughout the year and as scheduled during peak times (school holidays and long weekends).

Archery

Archery is a static activity that requires participants to complete an 8 step process in order to achieve success. Our instructors use a methodical instructional style to introduce the 8 steps and walk participants through them slowly. The result is accurate shooting and an understanding of the benefits of a systematic approach to anything you put your hands to. This activity will develop an orderly and methodical approach, use of processes, discipline, competitive fun and an ability to follow directions. Cost: $10 per person – 1 hour session Archery is offered on Saturdays throughout the year and as scheduled during peak times (school holidays and long weekends).

Swimming

Our Ecopool means you can now always cool down at Murphys Creek Escape. Our campgrounds is located on the banks of Murphys Creek which relies on rainfall so we can’t guarantee you will find it flowing when you visit. When it does flow the creek provides a multitude of places to swim, splash and play. The “beach” is a large swimming hole with a large sandy play space bordered on two sides by spectacular canyon walls. Wet or dry, our creek/creek bed provides hours of entertainment. Our Facebook page is the best place to get up to date information on the creek conditions. If in doubt at time of booking, ask reception. Due to the rocky nature of our creek, it is not generally suitable for kayaking or canoeing.

Low Obstacle Course

Our fun kids’ obstacle course is perfect for little adventurers to test their balance, strength, and agility. Featuring car tyres, wooden planks, small climbs, and playful swings, it’s a safe and exciting way for children to challenge themselves while having fun outdoors. Designed to build confidence and coordination, the course is ideal for families looking to keep kids active and entertained during their stay at Murphys Creek Escape.
