Join us as we unravel the charm of these places.
1/ Moama Waters, NSW: Nestled along the banks of the Murray River, Moama Waters captivates us with its tranquil atmosphere and picturesque surroundings. The allure of riverside serenity, coupled with abundant water activities, makes this destination a favourite for unwinding… or playing. Whether it's paddleboarding on the lakes, enjoying a swim or lounge by the the pools, or riding the pump track, there's no shortage of fun. Rest assured, the kids will have a sound night's sleep after a day full of adventures… in any season!

2/ Renmark, Big 4 Caravan Park: Renmark's Big 4 Caravan Park has become a cherished stop for us, offering a perfect blend of family-friendly amenities and proximity to the enchanting Murray River. The park's vibrant atmosphere and recreational options cater to every member of the family, ensuring an enjoyable stay every time we return. While Renmark typically serves as a stopover for our entry into South Australia, we like to extend our stay for a few nights. The waterfront sites offer a breathtaking view of the river, and witnessing the sunset is an experience that's truly unforgettable.

3/ Robe Seaview Caravan Park: For coastal enthusiasts, Robe Seaview Caravan Park is an idyllic retreat. Overlooking the stunning Southern Ocean (the water is so blue), it beckons with its coastal charm and pristine beaches. The relaxed ambiance and proximity to Robe's historic town center make it an irresistible spot for both relaxation and exploration. Make sure to grab fresh seafood from Sky’s Seafood and take Max Trax with you when driving along Long Beach.

4/ Tallangatta Caravan Park: Nestled in the picturesque landscape of Tallangatta, this caravan park beckons with its serene lakeside ambiance. Living in close proximity to this postcard-perfect destination makes it an easy weekend retreat for us. The stunning vistas of Lake Hume provide a haven for water enthusiasts and those yearning for a tranquil escape. The kids thoroughly enjoy fishing from the shoreline, often catching red fin. Red fin wraps make a regular appearance on the menu, accompanied by a glass of wine and a cheese platter while we soak in the beauty of the sunset. This place truly nourishes the soul.

5/ Wallaroo, South Australia: Our love for South Australia knows no bounds, and Wallaroo is a gem that keeps us coming back. The pristine beaches, captivating scenery, and the all-encompassing sense of tranquility make Wallaroo a quintessential destination for those who appreciate the beauty of South Australia in all its facets.
We choose to stay at Wallaroo Holiday Park, these beachfront caravan sites are right on the beach with easy access for beach driving nearby. The tidal nature of the beach provides ample shallow areas, making it ideal for kids to enjoy a swim or throw in a line. The sunsets are absolutely stunning. Us Victorian’s love a good sunset over the ocean… Wallaroo provides just that! If only this place were a bit closer to home, we'd find ourselves here more often than not! 👌🏼
