Oyster Bar, Holdfast Shores is where Anzac Highway meets the sea, just 10 kilometres from the heart of Adelaide’s City centre. Oyster Bar is a Glenelg institution that attracts oyster lovers from all over the World.
Situated overlooking the Marina at Holdfast Shores, The Oyster Bar offers absolute waterfront marina views for you to enjoy while sampling some of South Australia’s finest oysters, complemented perfectly by a glass of South Australian wine or a cold beer.

On Sunday the 5th of August starting at 1:00pm the Oyster Bar will ‘pop up’ in the Marina Pier and feature Sam Willis from Barrister’s Block pouring exceptional local drops and there will be an oyster shucker on site, freshly shucking natural oysters for only $2.00 with selected house made toppings available for only $1.00 extra. This is a day to celebrate the ‘oyster’; perfectly paired with a glass of Barrister’s Block wine and or if wine doesn’t take your fancy we have beer and cider on offer and our full menu of food and beverages inside the venue for our guests.

The day is capped off with live music from the band Chook Shed. What more could you really want?
This is a free to attend event and Oyster Bar, Holdfast Shores is working closely with the Marina Pier to bring this event to life. We are looking forward to celebrating our hero the ‘oyster’ with you all.

Natural Surface Rock Climbing on SA’s BEST cliffs

By on July 31, 2018 in

Experience natural surface rock climbing with qualified employees and quality equipment.  Since 1989, Venture Corporate Recharge has been successfully taking people up and down the best cliffs in South Australia, Victoria, and further afield.

We offer a range of programs for beginners to the more experienced climbers, to go rock climbing and/or abseiling for individuals or groups.

The most popular sites close to Adelaide that we use are the cliffs of  Morialta Conservation Park and The Onkaparinga National Park. Morialta Conservation Park, 15 minutes away from the city is a gorgeous setting with views over the Adelaide Metropolis and St Vincent Gulf are awe-inspiring. Onkaparinga Gorge, south of the city is a wild setting and feels remote, and the views over the Onkaparinga River are fabulous.

No experience necessary – Our guides will provide all equipment, instruction and technical expertise. We set up a variety of climbs for differing levels of fitness and experience, to ensure you get the chance to have fun, ‘top out’, perhaps learn some new skills (or refresh old ones) and push yourself as hard as you wish.

We have climbing days at both Morialta and down at ‘the Onk’ planned for through out the year available to be booked on now.  If you have something else in mind, or want your own private climbing experience, please get in touch and we will endeavor to make it happen.
