EXPLORE THE STATES
Brisbane Holiday Village
Planning a city escape to Brisbane, and looking for a holiday park to provide value and entertainment? Brisbane Holiday Village has a delightful swimming pool, whether you’re fully immersed or watching the light sparkle on the surface from a sun lounge. The shallow lagoon pool with mushroom fountains is always popular with children, as well as the playground, tennis court, multi-purpose sports field, and 18-hole mini golf course. The city is less than fifteen minutes away to make South Bank your playground; ride the Wheel of Brisbane, peruse the markets, swim at Streets Beach, and look around the arts precinct. To see Story Bridge, take the kids on a cruise along the Brisbane River or dare to tackle the Bridge Climb. Mount Coot-Tha Reserve has plenty of bushwalking and mountain biking trails, and you can hold a koala at Lone Pine Koala Sanctuary. On top of all that Brisbane has to offer, it’s not far to check out the Gold Coast’s theme parks, either…
Lake Tinaroo Holiday Park
Far North Queensland has never looked better than a stay at Lake Tinaroo Holiday Park. Proximity to the splash park will be a hit with the kids, not to mention the bouncing pillow! Hire stand-up paddleboards and kayaks for the lake or grab a life jacket and join a white-water rafting adventure on the Barron River. If you want a tasty takeaway dinner without needing to leave the park or wait for a delivery driver, there’s an on-site café and general store. That said, you could always fish for barramundi by day and cook it on the park BBQs by night. Cairns is a charming tropical city, with highlights including its botanic gardens, aquarium, riding the Kuranda Scenic Railway through the rainforest, and soaking in waterfall swimming holes.
Discovery Parks - Forster
With unbeatable access to the Wallamba River for your favourite water sports, not to mention proximity to Forster Beach, you get the best of both worlds at Discovery Parks - Forster. In-park activities are plentiful, with a refreshing waterpark, swimming pool, pump track, games room, pedal karts, boat ramp, and a kids club. Beyond the park’s perimeter, go whale and dolphin watching, and in the summer months, head north to Big Buzz Fun Park. Gain a spectacular view climbing up to the Cape Hawke lookout or Bennetts Head Lookout, or admire and walk through the native rainforest in the lakeside precinct. For something a little different, visit Australia’s largest collection of motorcycles at The National Motorcycle Museum. Whether you’re strolling around the lake, zipping down the waterslide, or lazing in the resort-style pool, it’s a beautiful spot for your next family vacation.
