Tas - Boat Harbour


This is a picture perfect bay with crystal clear water and white sands.
There is a free camp area on the grass to the left of the parking lot. We stayed here one night and it was beautiful listening to the waves rolling in and out. The toilets are closed from 11:00p.m until 7:00a.m. The disabled toilets, however, remained open all night.
The locals came down to welcome us and handed us some brochures for the area.
The restaurant is beside the beach and we were looking forward to having breakfast there but they decided not to open until lunch the day we were there. Disappointing.

Tas - Devonport

We arrived in Tasmania on board The Spirit of Tasmania, and drove a short distance to the Discovery Holiday Park. The park is on the coast and you can stand on the foreshore and watch the Spirit arrive and depart.

The toilet block is new, four ladies toilets and four showers (same with the men). The area is very open and we couldn’t put our awning out while we were here because it was very windy every day.

NSW - Brunswick Heads

This is a very quiet park on the banks of the Brunswick River. Most of the park is permanents but there are still a lot of powered and unpowered sites. Amenities are good with two blocks, one old and one new. Just a stroll to the beach and town. Very handy location.
This park is a Top Tourist member.

Qld - Scarbourough

What a find. This park is at the northern tip of the Redclffe Peninsula. There are very few trees but most of the sites are big drive through with concrete slabs. The amenities block is brand new and tastefully done. A pleasure to use. There is a restaurant adjacent to the park, has great coffee, cakes and is open for breakfast and lunch. We often popped in for a coffee. The park is located next to the harbour which makes for a nice stroll.
We can highly recommend this park.

Qld - Noosa

This caravan park is in the suburbs and about a five minute drive into the heart of Noosa. The bike and walking trails make it easy to get around Tewantin - to the shops and the harbour. The park has a lovely heated pool, amenities old but clean.

Qld - Hervey Bay

This council owned park is on the beach at Torquay, one of the beachside suburbs at Hervey Bay. Shops and restaurants are across the road and within an easy stroll.
There are two amenities blocks, very well maintained. Most caravan sites are with a slab, a few shade trees and grass.
The sites were $39.00 per night which was school holiday fees.
Very pleasant stay.

Qld - Bundaberg - Bargara

While visiting this area we stayed at the beautiful seaside town of Bargara, about a ten minute drive from downtown Bundaberg.

The caravan park is across the road from the surf club and about 1 klm from the centre of Bargara. Powered sites are $31.00 per night.
The large park of 16 acres has two large amenities blocks, many concrete slabs, trees and lovely grass everywhere. The park is beside the tennis courts, on the edge of the nature walk / bike trail and oval. Each morning we would ride the 12 klm trail and in the afternoons we would swim at the beach. In between we’d walk into town and have coffee.

Fantastic area.
