Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

What an amazing phenomenon!
It is not possible to experience this on your own unless there are others there during your visit.

Impressive sound travel. We weren’t really expecting much and were quite amazed at how well we could hear a person speaking from so far away. Worth the short detour.

Amazing place to visit & experience science with soundwaves in action, as they bounce from one end of the arced dam to the other. This is a great activity for any age, including families.

A great place to take visitors to see the real Aussie landscape and experience the parabolic sound effect of the wall.

Hard for a solo traveller to appreciate such an experience. Walked the wall and waited for someone else to test from the other side

We took a friend here to experience the acoustics, he found it amazing and well worth the visit. There is plenty of parking available and public toilets on site.

It is simply a dam wall for the Barossa water supply that gave us this cool unintended consequences. Talking into the wall enables your voice to heard clearly 450m away. Toilets are available. 15min stop to stretch your legs.

This is a wall of an old dam where one can stand on one end and talk to person on another end.
Kids loved it and has beautiful park to have a picnic.
One of the places to see in Barossa valley.

Loved this place. You don't need to spend heaps of time here, just enough to see it and walk over and back, but its pretty amazing. And crazy that you can whisper from 1 side to the other and hear the person! Try it! Lovely natural spot. Worth seeing! Glad we did!

You need to go down steps to the platform on either end of the wall if youi want to try out the 'whispering' part. But you should be able to cross over the top of the wall in a wheelchair

It was hot when we tried to visit last week, so the wall was closed. Will it be open tomorrow (wed 20th jan 2016)? We have to travel 2 hours to see it, so would be great to know in advance.

Hi Tracy. thanks for your review - I remember the WW from my childhood days and am taking my children there with some friends on Sunday.
I note you took a picnic lunch, which we are planning to do - where did you eat yours? Is there a nice spot nearby?
thanks!
