Simple Pleasures on the Property

Beyond the rides and experiences, the property itself is yours to wander. A free playground under the trees, a jumping castle for the little ones, and a museum telling the story of the old mill.

The spirit of place

The Museum

Step inside the story of the Rivermill. An arrowroot mill operated here from around 1910, and the property has been part of Coomera Valley life for more than a century; the museum keeps its photographs, antiques and memories alive.

  • The story of the old arrowroot mill
  • Antiques & photographs from a century of valley life
  • A quiet stop between the café & animals
