Over the Australia Day weekend we decided to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary exploring the town of
Silverton NSW.
We departed our
home town Saturday morning and headed to
Broken Hill where we stayed in a very lovely Motel in the heart of town.
Sunday morning we travelled to
Silverton, on arrival we decided to unload our baggage at the
Penrose Park Caravan Park where we had made a booking for a cabin for the night.
Opening the door to the cabin we found there was no table and chairs, no TV and as we knew no cooking facilities in the cabin, with only a bar fridge and coffee/tea making facilities.
There was no view outside due to a canvas blind that could not be rolled up.
The Veranda concrete was covered with leaves, bird feathers and the door mat was surrounded by, and sitting on red sand.
I approached the Manager who informed me that the rooms “do not have tables and chairs in them”, I had already looked in the other room’s windows and saw tables.
The Manager said he would give us two green garden chairs and a dirty green garden table outside our room. This was done after he cleaned the table.
We decided to explore the lovely remains and restored buildings of the once booming mining town and thoroughly enjoyed all the Tourist Venues and spent some time at the interesting local hotel (top meal Peter).
Thank you to all those lovely, helpful people who welcomed us to
Silverton for your Hospitality.
We loved all the venues, and the very
well set up Mad Max2 Museum.
On closing I wish to say to the The
Penrose Park Trust Committee “the cabins are a disgrace to
Silverton and for the price we paid you can at least supply tables and chairs, and TV’s in the rooms”. There is room for improvement to them.
Would we recommend this park for cabins.....NO
