Hi everyone, our last day as managers of the caravan park was yesterday. We have had a very interesting time over the last 12 months but we think it’s a bit early to be turning our backs on city life. We will be handing over to Lyndel Mackay, whom we brought in to the manage the café last year, and she’s done such a good job we’ve decided to put her in charge of everything. Please be nice to her and pay your rent on time, and keep your dogs on their leashes. We run a caravan park, not a safari park!

We are very proud of all the work we have done so far, but none of it could have been accomplished without you guys. We wish we had spent more time hanging out with most of you, and we hope that some of you will look us up in future. Or to paraphrase Bilbo, we don't know half of you half as well as we should like; and we like less than half of you half as well as you deserve.

Keep calm and caravan on everybody, and feel free to contact us on our personal emails if you’d like to stay in touch or tell us about any urgent park issues which need escalating! We are sorry that you won’t get to play with James (sad times), but we’ve attached a few pics taken lately and you can always friend us on facebook if you want to see more.

Keep it classy!

Megan, Bruce and James

We have had some new wildlife around the park for the past few weeks.  The Red Tailed Black Cockatoos are larger than your standard Sulphur Crested Cockatoo and seem to come to ground a bit more often as well.  Definitely an interesting sight!

If you come down to the café on Sunday night from 5.30pm onwards you will get the chance to play battle karaoke against our crack team of Singstar supremos (Nick, Bruce, Paige and Vaine). And if you win you will get $2 off your food order! What better way to celebrate St. Patrick's Day than singing off against us in order to save money. Lá fhéile Pádraig sona dhuit! Happy St. Patrick's Day!

There's a new crocodile and wildlife tour being run from Mission Beach and it's fantastic! You board the boat at 4.30pm, go for a relaxing sunset cruise where you're given a glass of wine or beer and some nibbles and then... Let the games begin! The tour guides are extremely knowledgeable about everything from mangrove tree science, mud crabbing, and most of all... crocodile hunting! As soon as the sun came down we were zipping along the Hull River with our high powered flashlights in hand, scanning the water for the orangey red reflection of the crocodiles' eyes. You go from seeing nothing in the daylight to seeing hundreds of little red eyes all over the place! We took James along as bait but in the end we didn't need to throw him in. Anyway, you have to try the tour. It's amazing.

Can you beat the view??

We have managed to track down the hacker who appears to have single-handedly masterminded the biggest heist of the digital age. If only he could tell us where he has stashed those 850,000 bitcoins...
