Red Rock

Reviewed By Karey101 - Brisbane, Australia

Definetly a spot worth checking out. The seemingly endless views from the Lookouts are amazing. Best time of day is late afternoon to see the shadows come across the craters. A good bitumen road leads up to the top and Red Rock lookout has enough room for caravans to turn around easily. Toilets and info at the bottom.

Red Rock Theatre and Gallery

Reviewed By Kirkcaldylad - North Lanarkshire, United Kingdom

Apparently this old church fell into disuse and was bought and given by the purchaser to the local community. The latter now has a theatre for live Performances and an art gallery that occupies the body of the kirk. We enjoyed a short visit to see the latest exhibition. It is worth a visit for the building and now the gallery. The website explains when it is open and its uses.

Although there is ample parking and toilet facilities we didn't enjoy this visit at all. The entire place needs some tlc. We were inundated with lots and lots of flies. I found it boring and was glad to get back in the car

Kidz Kingdom

Indoor Play centre in South West Victoria. Ideal location for children up to early teens. 2 separate areas, one enclosed toddler area and the large playground with giant slides, ball pit, jumping castle, rope bridge, tunnels slides & more. We have a full onsite café, made to order off our menu. Fully air conditioned and heated, Kidz Kingdom is a place to relax and enjoy a cuppa while the kids run and be free.
