Our Social Club have been working hard behind the scenes to raise money to undertake some mini projects around the park. One such project is to make improvements to the area outside the kiosk.
The old bark chip and ragged garden were removed to make it compliant with our Fire Upgrades and a new concrete slab has been poured, cut and colored. Next will be the building of rock-mesh walls, some new seating and possibly some shade cover down the track. A huge thank you to Deb and Simone who have been the driving force behind this project, and to everyone who has helped out in getting the job done. Special thanks goes to Mark Brumby who has donated materials and his time to get this job done. We are so happy with the work and cannot recommend Mark highly enough to anyone needing concreting done! Stay tuned to see how this area turns out! |
It is great to see the difference in water levels in just over 1 week (8 days!). The water is about 50m from the bottom of the ramp now.
The creeks and rivers leading to the lake are still flowing and it's raining again now which means the levels will continue to rise! Yay!! We have been told 50% is a ski-able level - let's hope we reach that soon! |

Good Friday Appeal
Thank you to the Newstead CFA who called through the Park collecting for the Royal Children's Hospital Good Friday Appeal. Those in the park at the time gave generously and helped the CFA beat last years total with an excess of $2500 collected in the local area. Well done everyone!

Easter Egg Hunt
A huge thank you to Tony and family for organising our Annual Easter Egg Hunt on Sunday morning. The hunt kicked off at 9am and the squeals and shouts of the children as they found the eggs was just wonderful to hear.
It was a great way to kick off a beautiful day. |

Extension of our Lease!
We are very pleased to announce that Goulburn-Murray Water has granted the Committee of Management an extension of our current lease. We have now been granted a 2 year lease from the 1st of July, 2015 to the 30th of June, 2017. A representative from GMW said that we had "exceeded expectations!". Congratulations to everyone involved. This would not have been possible without the tireless work of not only the committee, but everyone involved - annual site holders, campers, day visitors, our local communities, Facebook followers, everyone! We thank you very much and look forward to a long partnership with you all! Stay tuned as we have no intention of stopping here!! |
