Island Reach (Imbil) 12 - 13 October

[cruisindoug]

We would like to put up a proposed outing to Island Reach Caravan park on the 12 - 13 October.

Its a lovely little park and we can have the camp kitchen to ourselves, and run power out of it (6 -7 vans before double ups ).

The park is right on a river and at that time of year should be a great spot. There is a fire pit with some wood supplied, dogs are OK. Imbil is a small town with a pub that seems to have good deals for dinner ($15 Shiraz and Shank, $16 all you can eat buffet). The park owners are flexible and didn't mind us having a late check out on the Sunday, which enables you to check out the Gympie Rattler rolling into town around midday (wasn't running when we we were there due to track repairs )

There is an antique shop there and an op shop that opens on the Sunday.

Here is the brochure and some pics from our reccie run the other weekend.













We have booked out the camp kitchen so if you would like to go book direct with the park (say your with the Vintage Van Mob) and put a post up to say your coming along.

Hope to see you there ;D ;D ;D

Cheers

Doug and Tracy

Hi guys,

Sounds like alot of fun at Imbil this weekend, and the weather is great this fine Saturday morning.

Unfortunately we are both grounded with nasty flu, just the sort to be kept to ourselves.

We hope you all have a great weekend at what looks like a great location.

Cheers Elona and Lionel,

We're home again after the long trek from Tathra via assorted stops on the way. We would have loved to get to Imbil to be with all you guys but can't do everything.
