Hey all , Took a couple of days off last week while the weather is stunning. Headed off to Wonga beach, parked the van and a tent, then cruised around to cape tribulation, daintree etc. Was great. Park was cheap. Amenities ok, they are renovating. The park was very rundown and last time I was there the managers said the council was trying to close it. They almost had the land sold off to developers when legislation was passed preventing major development on the foreshore, and you guessed it, the only thing realyl it could be used for was a van park. so they are spending some money and doing it up. Heres some pics Cheers Scoot

OMG - that looks like a dreadful place (not).
Glad to hear they can't sell it to developers and that the park is being done up. There are far too many overpriced resorts on our coastline already.
Looks like a beaut spot for a little R&R Cheers,

Yes was certainly nice. I could have cheerfully stayed there for af ew days. "Atouchofglass" your wife was in class tonight. All she could say to me was "you should see my caravan" So Im assuming that your doing a great job and the van is looking good. Cheers scoot

Glad to hear that park will be staying - that is just such a terrific spot. Amazing what's right under your nose sometimes, isn't it!
Enjoy
