Hi Everyone,

It's been a while since I have updated the site so I thought it was about time I got on with it! We've had a lot happening since June and time just seems to have slipped by so quickly.  July was all about Christmas in July and Santa this year was very busy having to visit the Springs every weekend in the month!  On one weekend alone we catered for some 90 people.  I have to say by the end of the month Toni and I were happy not to cook another roast for a while!

The weather as normal was pretty cold; with one night in particular, the thermometer going down to -7 on the campsite.  Nothing a large fire and a few neck warmers couldn't sort out!

August for us was all about the 2008 EFS Logan Challenge.  Having hosted the event last year we were probably better prepared than previously but we still had some minor hick ups which we had to overcome.  They say the more you do things the better you get and certainly this years event seemed to run very smoothly.  I base this on the amount of times I am threatened with divorce from Toni and the two occasions this year were much improved on last years statistics!!  The event was filmed by 4WDTV and we understand that it will go to air in the next few weeks.  So keep your eye out for this!

 

The Park has changed somewhat in the last few weeks with two one way roads in and out of the campsite.  This has stopped any queuing when we are very busy and provides easier access to the campsite.  The large hill you originally had to negotiate has been made much easier and we can proudly say that you CAN get in with a 2wd now!  We have also extended the camping areas on the Park again providing more room for campers and 4wders.  The Bog Hole has been dug out and when filled with water becomes a fearsome obstacle!  Cars with snorkels and passengers/drivers with bathing suits only!

We have resurrected the Grilla Night run and intend running another evening on the 18-19th October.  Get your bookings in quick because this has proved very popular.  For more details click here.

A gentle reminder to anyone who brings dogs onto the park.  They must be kept under control at all times.  All our neighbours are sheep or goat farmers and take looking after their animals very seriously.  One of our young dogs strayed onto a nearby property and was shot dead.  The No blame is attached to the farmer as he is quite at liberty to do this.... so please keep a good eye on your pets.

On a better note...Spring at the Springs is in the air!  Temperatures are going up and this is the absolute best time for camping.  So get the cobwebs off your camper or tent and come visit us!  Don't forget that Tough Tracks round 3 is here on the 27-28th September so if you want to see some awesome rigs and driving come and have a look.

Toni, Jordan and I hope to see you here soon.
