Hi people (new here)

I am a family man with 4 kids from 2 to 8 and with the looming school holidays I was looking to take my kids somewhere different. We live in a beachside location, so we prefer to head bush. Because we have 4 kids $$$ is very important on spending wisely.

We have NO 4WD, caravan or tent, so we all squeeze into out little Holden Rodeo duel cab ute and usually stay in caravan park cabins. Last time we headed out we went to a lovely place called Mambray Creek in the southern flinders ranges just north of Port Pirie. It's in a national park and they have this really small cabin with very basic facilities which can be rented out for $50 per night. We loved the place and found it very relaxing, and it suited our budget perfectly. We are thinking of returning again but I ended up on this forum thinking I would ask members of any other little spots in our great state that I could take my family to with accommodation like Mambray Creek ?

Looking to head preferably North of adelaide, any bush location where kids can have exploratory fun, cheap to FREE, not over run with hordes of Latte sipping yuppies. Things like old shearers quarters, mining huts, settlers cottages, even old barns will do. Can be in a National Park, or on private stations. Links to web sites would be great.

Any help greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Here is my link to Mambray Creek for anyone else to exploroz
