Big4 Marong Holiday Park

Get here and check in - we're staying here for 2 nights. We go and settle on our site No. 35 - we both get a surprise at how small the sites are here. No 'wiggle room' that's for sure. Once we're set up and get the chance to look around - we're happy, it's a very neat park with lovely facilities. The afternoon disappears quickly as we just relax at our camp. Around 5.30pm, a staff member comes and lights the communal fire pit, which we are very close to. So Rog and I quick to go and sit beside it, to have our pre dinner drinks. We have another camper wander over to say hello - turns out that he's from Portland. He and his wife with another couple (2 caravans), have come here for the weekend to go to the Caravan Show. He goes back to his camp for his dinner. We're ready to eat too - so I go and reheat last night's sausage surprise - to have beside the communal fire. While we're having our tea, a few families with young children come and toast some marshmallows at the fire - all lovely and offer if we'd like some (did take up 1st offer and toasted 1 marshmellow each). They don't stay long - children young and be heading for bed. This leaves Rog and I enjoying a lovely fire to ourselves. We eventually decide we'll head back to our caravan. Time for Roger to go have his shower and I start the dishes. Rog gets back and dries them to put away. Relax until bedtime.
31/05/25 Saturday Very fresh (cold - almost frost) morning, Roger up around 7.30am, I have a lie in until 8am. Get up and enjoy a leisurely breakfast, then go have a shower (great park facilities). Before tiding up and doing the dishes I decide to make a batch of Anzac biscuits as the camp kitchen here has a good oven. Get the biscuits and dishes done. Roger waiting for me to get organised to go meet up with Latarsha (Tarshie) Blair and family. We're going to watch Sophie play netball (her game starts 11.40am) then go to their home for lunch. As we're happily supplying the bread rolls for this lunch, we leave abit earlier to get into Bendigo to do some shopping first. Get underway around 11am.
Return after a lovely day out at just after 9pm. Roger off for his shower, as my mobile is flat (now recharging) I go to bed same time as Roger - we both read before sleep.
1/06/25 Sunday Both get up around 8am. It's Levi's 25th birthday today - so I send a message - will try and call later. Roger is preparing our cook up breakfast - using the provided BBQ and we'll eat over in the camp kitchen area. I go and help by doing the toast and cuppas, and cutting up the 'cold stuff' in my PJ's with dressing gown. Once we've had this yummy breakfast, I go and have a shower. Roger gets the dishes done, then we organise our pack up to leave - gone just before 10am.Les mer
