The Giant Swing offers a thrilling swing out over the canyon.  You can view videos of this on our Facebook page.

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.

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: $9 per person – 1 hour session

Archery is offered on Saturdays throughout the year and as scheduled during peak times (school holidays and long weekends).

Gear on and water bottles at the ready, the 100,000 acres of National Park to the rear of Murphys Creek Advenures is the perfect location for hiking activities. The undulation of the land, the density of the woodlands and the variety of amazing locations within the National Park all add to the experience of hiking on our camps.

Feeling less adventurous? You can stroll around our 50 acre campground and walk along the creek bed before returning for a much needed rest, drink and swim.

We have a mountain bike track built into the side of our ridge.  Offering over 2 kilometres of riding in a giant loop, the track has been given the thumbs up from expert mountain bikers.  Mountain Biking does not require high levels of fitness or endurance, rather it requires the rider to assess the course of least resistance and make quick decisions.

Our Ecopool means you can now always cool down at Murphy’s Creek Escape. Our campgrounds is located on the banks of Murphy’s 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.
