Big4 Dongara Denison Beach Holiday Park

Roger has done a ring around the caravan parks - after we called in at the Seaspray one (expensive around $60 per night) and has decided the Big4 is the go. When we arrive we immediately like it's location with seaviews. On friendly discussion in the office, we decide to pay $50 for a 2 year Big4 Perks membership, which will give us a discount at Big4 caravan parks - brings our 2 night stay down to $43 per night. Tempting to take up the stay 3 nights get the 4th free - but we feel we've got other places to look at. We go set up on our allocated site 65. Very nice position in the park. Lovely to set out awning and mat. We settle in, chat with nice neighbours, couple from NSW, then have some lunch. Sandwiches for Rog, open toasties for me. After a relax we go for a walk to check out our surrounds - lovely coastal place. Once back from our walk, Roger goes has a shower and we relax about camp - Roger reading, and I happily organising cards and gifts ready to post. Baby gifts for Jackson and Josie Joy. Roger cooks our tea - sausage casserole over in the camp kitchen, we stay and eat it there as well. Go back to our van and do dishes and tidy up. Relax before bed.
24/11/24 Sunday. Get up to do the Dongara Heritage Walk before we have the free pancakes supplied at 9am by the park. We enjoy the walk (8km). Both have showers when we get back. Then enjoy a pancake each. This not quite enough for me for my breakfast (Roger had a bowl of muesli before our walk) so I have a fresh pear chopped with some yoghurt. Nice warm day (in the 30s) so Roger goes for a morning swim - try's a snorkel but not impressed - sticks with enjoying a swim. I'm happy about camp - finish up the writing of Christmas cards for relatives we 'gift' tickets to Mater Prize Home draw. We get a phone call fom Tegan - enjoy the chat, Robert in on the call too. Lunch is our usual. I spend time on the laptop - researching for travel insurance for my Canada trip next year - and purchasing, nice to have that done. Roger has gone for another swim and is back reading. I decide I'd better go for a swim as it's warm enough. Off to Granny's Beach - and how lucky am I, I have it pretty much to myself. After a good dunk - I return to our camp site - relax, then we both go and have showers. Tea tonight is reheated sausage casserole that Roger's added some noodles into it - yum. Now relaxing, writing this up. Will do dishes, then read until sleep time.
25/11/24 Monday. Wake up knowing it's Tegan's birthday - so we both message her. We'll ring and chat tomorrow when it's the 25th in Canada - when Tegz will celebrate it. I decide to go for a walk and check out South Beach - Roger happy to stay at camp and get us packed up to leave. I start my walk at 6.30am and back around 7.30am. I have my breakfast, then get organised to leave as well. We're gone 8.50am - heading to get some fuel before departing Dongara.もっと詳しく
