Barossa Wildlife Rescue Walkathon

SATURDAY 4TH APRIL 2026 FROM 11:00 AM

The Golden Egg Adventure Passport 🐣

  • Right, so here’s something for the kids…
    (and something very nice for you too 🍷)
    This Easter, we’re turning Monkey Nut Cafe into a giant adventure trail for little explorers.

  • 🐰 WHAT IT IS
    An Easter-themed adventure at Monkey Nut Cafe where kids follow a fun trail to find hidden golden eggs using their own “passport.”
  • 📍 HOW IT WORKS
    Children visit four locations:
         The Tractor
         The Marquee
         The Tree
         The Rotunda
    At each stop, they find a golden egg and stamp their passport. Once all four stamps are collected, they return to claim an Easter egg prize.

  • FOR THE PARENTS
    While kids explore, adults can relax with:
    🍷 Barossa wine
    🎶 Live music
    🌿 Scenic vineyard views
    🍔 A family-friendly picnic menu
  • 👨‍👩‍👧‍👦 FAMILY FRIENDLY
    The event is designed for all ages, with a safe, open space for kids to run, play, and explore freely.
  • ⚡️ WHY IT’S SPECIAL
    It’s more than an Easter hunt — it’s a full afternoon experience in the vines, keeping kids entertained while parents unwind.
