The roads for the Tourist Park are near completion. We have trucked in over 200 tonne of road base to use for the roads and caravan pads. So far we have utilized nearly 40 hours of heavy earthmoving equipment hire with more to come. It would have been a lot quicker if we removed some of the trees, then the machines would have been able to drive in straight lines instead of manouvering around the trees, but with no trees it is just like nearly every other caravan park. We want our guests to feel as though they have lots of room to move, not jammed in against each other like sardines. 4 of the 8 caravan sites are drive through sites and the pads are approximately 10m in length and 7m wide, the camping area has been top dressed and the sites for the cabins have been cleared of grass and surface rocks but we haven’t removed a tree. The camping area is right next to the swimming pool and will have a gazebo for each site. I hope that our guests will feel as though they are camping out in the bush and not in an over-commercialised caravan park.
The cabins or huts as I like to call them will be something special, but I wont talk about them until they are erected, but believe me when I say that I doubt if there is a Tourist Park or Caravan Park in Australia that will have anything similar.
