If, like me, Canberra summers were made bearable growing up with your favourite holiday retreat, “Big Splash Waterpark” … You would have cried a Lake Burly Griffin sized-river last year when news broke that it would not reopen for summer.

In devastating news, its owners abandoned plans to have the park up and running by November, citing rising repair costs, vandalism, and ongoing maintenance challenges.
Canberra local, Amelia Tattam, is also sweating the frustration, so she decided to take matters (and slides) into her own hands.
But the catch is, we need your help!!

Amelia chatted with Hit 104.7 Weekend Breakfast’s Ellie Angel and Bethany Larsen about the Belconnen icon.
