Point Turton Caravan Park

Book in for 2 nights at $50 per night with power and water. Site 6 behind cabins on the higher level of the park. Get to our site, park staff member directs Rog onto our site. Very nice site and new amenities block just behind us - all great. Once set up, we make our lunch - leftover snitzel into salad sandwiches for Roger, and a couple of open toasties for me topped with Rael's zucchini relish, avocado, ham, tomato and cheese. Roger is keen to go for a paddle board - as this place certainly offers a good spot today. He gets organised for this and off he goes. I follow him down to the Jetty for a walk. Enjoy watching the pelicans and stingrays getting the leftovers from the fisherman - big sign saying not to feed them - but mustn't apply to fisherman? Lol! After walking out on the Jetty I return to our camp, Roger arrives back shortly after - he enjoyed a swim as well. After a relax, Roger decides we should go for a drive to check out nearby point of interest - so we do. Return within the hour. Now just going to enjoy this beautiful afternoon at camp. Roger persuades me to go for a late afternoon swim - glad he did, I float about very contentedly with my pool noodle - enjoying watching kids and big kids having fun around the Jetty (plenty jumping off). Roger snorkels and has another short stand up paddle board. We return to camp and go and have showers. There is a food van on offer at this park tonight - I check it out (yiros, hamburgers, fish& chips) but unsure of the set up and wait time - happily stick with Roger's choice of making up a chicken, vegetable and noodles curry casserole. We sit outside to eat our tea enjoying the water views - afterwards move our chairs closer to the water views and enjoy our bottle of wine. Return to van and get the dishes and tidy up done. Roger reading, and I'm catching this up before bed - may watch another Reacher Season 3 episode.......(I did eps 2 & 3).
5/03/25 Wednesday. I get up and get into bathers so I can go for a stand up paddle board before breakfast. I do, but it's far too windy for me to venture out into the bay today - so I just do some short laps in the sheltered swimming area beside the jetty. Roger helps me carry the paddle board back to camp (I made it down to the water by myself) as the wind is making it tricky. Roger has prepared to do a cooked breakfast - so we get this made - and enjoy. I get dressed and ready to go for a drive - we've decided to 'day trip' about. Head off about 9.30am and return just after 2pm. It's very windy - so we just choose to relax about camp, reading, catching up budget books, writing up cards re new baby boy Jasper George Tooley - James and Sophie's 1st child. Then I watch another episode S3 Reacher ep. 4. Roger thinks he might go for a swim and gets dressed accordingly - comes back, no he didn't - too windy (making it cool too). Tea tonight is panfried lamb with onions and boiled vegetables. Roger has some yoghurt and fruit (reminds me - we both ate a bunch of green seedless grapes between us today), then we have a milk chai (thermomix) with the last pieces of New Norcia pan chocolatti. Roger showers, I do the dishes and tidy up. Now relaxing until bedtime.
6/03/25 Thursday. We get up around 7.30am and have our breakfast - both having porridge today, Rog will follow this with some toast. Very windy throughout the night - and that's continuing today, so after my shower I'm happy to dress in trackies and a jumper! We tidy and pack up to be leaving at 9.30am.Läs mer
