The funny thing about kids is that they don't seem to feel the cold. Every day my girls trot off to school in little more than a t-shirt and skirt, arms and legs bare, absolutely refusing to wear a jumper despite me – clad in thermals and scarf – begging them to do so.
So, if your kids are like mine, this next line will really appeal to you: take them to Outback Splash for $10 entry this winter!

It's important to note that there will be no splashing, as the water attractions are closed over winter, but included in your $10 entry there is still plenty to do over the July school holidays including:
Five mazes of varying challenge levels including the massive 2500m2 timber maze which was the largest maze in Australia when it opened in 1981
Australian native animals
And especially for the holidays: a free daily bee-keeping show (1pm) called 'Bee Happy' where you will learn about life in the hive as well as enjoy some honey tasting.

There is also the option of archery sessions ($10 per person).
You can make a day of it and bring your own lunch or BBQ to enjoy in the shady picnic lawns and complimentary BBQs or take it easy and buy lunch from the onsite outlets The Burger Bar and Shake Shack.
