It looked kitsch on the photo and in a way, it is. The caravan park is called “Bedrock
Village” and they a whole Flintstones theme going on here. What they do have, that can’t be
bought, is a friendly and welcoming place. For a start, they treat families as families and don’t put
an artificial age on what a child is.
Some have said children are under 12, some have said under 14 and
most caravan parks say under
15. I don’t know how my 16 year
old is more expensive to keep at a caravan park than my 14 year old, but apparently,
he is! Here, a family is 2 adults
and up to 4 children (paying for them if they are 5-18).
They have a mini golf course here, which has already gotten
some use from our boys, a pool and rec room (with a large TV for the cricket)
but as I alluded to before, they have what you want to bottle and take with you
everywhere - the desire to make your stay with them memorable.
Last night, the older boys and I joined in with their activity night. The staff put on some games, like
passing the tennis ball in your neck, inside golf, ten pin bowling and a brain-teaser,
and organised us into teams to take part in the events. We got to mix with quite a number of
people and just have some fun.
They also run a small café and offer home cooked meals for
those who want one and are willing to pay. Last night was Spag Bol and tonight is wood fired
pizza. Andrew is tempted by
tonight’s offering, even though we have our own food!
Today, we went to the Undara Lava Tubes and I will put up
some photos of that when we get somewhere with a better connection. We had a wonderful tour, and some of
the staff and participants from the activity night were with us for that.
TRAVELLER’S TIP:
Be prepared for the detours and pleasant surprises along the
way. I am one who plans down to the nth degree (if given the chance). Leave room in your schedule for
unexpected blessings.
Have you seen the tall termite mounds yet?? They should be along that route. Sounds like you found a perfect spot to stay!
