WOW factor at PARK LANE TOURIST PARK – TRARALGON

Looking for somewhere quiet and welcoming to stay during your travels, or a great family holiday destination?

As a guest you are spoilt with many choices, welcomed by friendly staff and enjoyment of the 4.5 star facilities.

When checking in we were welcomed by friendly staff, assisted with tourist information for the surrounding area – Walhalla Historic Gold Town, Tarra Bulga National Park, Powerworks Open Cut Mine tour information along with day trip maps.

We settled for a large, drive-thru site with an en suite. The well equipped cabin accommodation made us feel at home very quickly.

WOW – then to decide what to experience first...we all know we should do the washing etc but the new mini golf course won! After a couple of rounds of golf we hired a peddle go-kart to tour throughout the park – fun had by all!

By this time it was time for a “cuppa” – with a multi-choice hot drinks machine producing far better than average coffee & hot chocolate we sat at the alfresco area near the camp kitchen enjoying the tranquil surroundings.

WOW - All refreshed we experienced the large jumping pillow followed by a relaxing spa which was heated and indoors.

Heading back to our accommodation we couldn't resist a challenge of table tennis in the spacious games room and to our delight found the comfortable TV room with large screen TV and comfortable lounge suite to relax.

After a wonderful, peaceful sleep in a comfortable bed we wandered up for breakfast at the new Caf?Bar.

WOW – how many courses are you supposed to have for breakfast?

We enjoyed a glass of juice while the staff made us a hot drink (do I want latte, cappuccino, hot chocolate...so much choice early in the morning) then a small (maybe not that small) bowl of cereal. Maybe I can squeeze in a small serving of hot food...
WOW, freshly cooked scrambled eggs, bacon, tomatoes along with toast but I also want to taste the pancakes!

Now I have to change into elastic waisted pants for traveling, WOW what a breakfast!

I strongly recommend staying at Park Lane Tourist Park to experience all they have to offer - you will need more than one night to enjoy the surrounding local attractions.

YALLINGUP BEACH TOURIST PARK

Some parks are a little shy about things, but others are not. Lynn Ferguson and her managers Peter and Vicki Samuels are quite clear when they claim that Yallingup Beach Park is “The best located park in WA.”

It is over the road from a surf beach with a calm swimming lagoon, it is in the Margaret River wine region close to the township and there is rumoured to be a ghost in the area! There are loads of walks around Yallingup and one is called the Ghost Walk. Lynn tells me that she was told that many many years ago a lady went walking through the scrub to the beach and her long Victorian dress was caught on the thorns so she could not get away. Eventually she did, but then could not find her way home and was found too late. Her ghost is said to wander around trying to get home.

If you would rather take to the surf, then there are plenty of surf carnivals to add to the great surf. The Yal Mal Surf Carnival is held on the first weekend in December and the Taj Burrows (an international renowned Australian surfer) holds the Taj Burrows Small Fries Competition on either the second or third weekend in January (depending on the weather).

There are two special events focused on the AFL season, on the first match of the season and the Grand Final a big screen TV is put up outside so that everyone can join in the celebrations of the opening and eventual closing of the footy season.

But this park has one attraction that cannot be surpassed – a cat called Lucky. This feline is actually “owned” by Vicki and Peter, although you would not know it. When the season is in full swing, Lucky decides to take a holiday and will move around the park and choose a guest to stay with. She simply moves in for a while, lets you feed her, find her a place to sleep and generally spoil her until she decides to move on to another guest. Some cats have it so good!

As you would expect from the best located park in WA, there are powered sites, tent sites and cabins, some of which have a view of the beach. It really is a great place – with an exceptional cat!
