We arrived late afternoon and did not expect at all to drive into a little township, with phone reception and a gorgeous lodge resort style place that I had organised us to stay at, it was a bit fancy, very pretty surrounded by luscious green lawns and plants and high up on stilts overlooking the area, even the reception area made me feel a bit like I needed to go have a shower and get changed into clothes more decent for a hotel than a caravan park but they were very welcoming and we got settled in large campsites side by side each other without any issues.
Just before we went to find out campsite the lady at reception advised that they have an all you can eat roast buffet for dinner if we were interested, so we booked in for that - we were still in shock that we had walked into normality when we all expected just a pub and some dirt out the back.
This place is massive, the camping areas must be about 3 football oval areas in size and still tons of space for cabins, and a toilet block on top of a massive hill.
We went down for dinner and it was magical, it is set on a verandah up high overlooking the campground with fairy lights and candles everywhere, the weather is beautiful and the food was delicious - we were all a bit unsure at the start as there wasn't any soup or bread left when we walked in at 6:30pm and no sign or mention that anymore was going to come out so we all just went straight in for main meals and by the time we had finished that the soup and bread were out so we had dinner backwards, main then entree and then dessert. They had apple crumble and custard as well as different types of cakes and slices and some fruit. We all basically rolled back to camp HAHA.
On the walk back we were surrounded by HUNDREDS of kangaroos, its so natural in the caravan park that they all just roam around and eat and play, I tried to get a video as we were walking but it was just too dark to see but the entire grass area was just covered in roos, they all just stood still like statues scared of us, waiting to see what we would do but we just walked and watched.. Alexis was so excited and wanted to go near them but we kept our distance and left them alone.
Just before going to bed we had a visit from a local kangaroo, he was big and tame, i think he was looking for food, i wasnt sure how tame he was so i stayed a distance from him but close enough Alexis could say hello, about 5 minutes later some of our neighbours had seen him and come out to watch, they brought apple and he came right up to them and they were patting him so i took Alexis back over to have a close up meeting with him - she loved it.
We have had such a great time here, I wish we had of known what to expect and we could have organised to stay a few more days but sadly this trip its only an overnighter. Onto Bungle Bungles tomorrow.
