I’d like to give a ‘rustic’ caravan park in Gippsland a plug.

It’s called ‘the Lakes Bushland caravan park’ just out of Nicholson.

On arrival, the missus of the park introduced me to her kids who had just returned from school. She also gave me six eggs which I’d forgotten to buy (at no charge).

After a lengthy dog introduction, we were off to find a camping site with map in hand.

Round and round we went trying to figure out what was a track, or a camp site. In the end I found an area amongst trees with good shade.

After getting set up, it was time to fit the plug, but it took me 5 minutes to find the connection.

The park is dog friendly with plenty of room to let them run, and on some sites, you can have an open fire in season.

Some of the adjoining properties have a rabbit problem, and I’m sure with a bit of polite behaviour, you’ll be able to shoot a bunny for the pot.

So give the park a go. Damn dog and I had a very relaxing time, and the folks running the park are top people. It’s nothing fancy but the amenities are very clean. People inerested in bird watching won't be disapointed.

Regards

Kim
