From Byron Bay it's only a short hop, skip and a jump to the gold coast. We made our way to the camping ground only to be met with sheer disappointment and disgust. Whilst I will not mention the name of the park, it was a shoddy little place, which of course on the internet looked great, yeah perhaps 20 years ago. The sites where Ok but the facilities were, well so bad that even I (Wog) could not let the family stay here, especially as this was our long awaited 7 day stop over break to just chill and relax.
So with my tightarse hat on I went to the office and requested my money back, but sadly this was not to be, we did receive credit to other sites from the same chain, which I am told are a lot better, so looks like there will be a cheep eBay auction coming up soon for some lucky winner......................LOL
We decided it would be best to see if we could book in at a nice campsite, which turned out to be Treasure island Caravan Park and I do have to say a big thanks to the staff who helped us out on such short notice, not only providing a premium site and facilities but also looking after us price wise.

This place is truly amazing, it has 3 swimming pools, which at 7pm at night the kids prompt discovered and headed for a quick dip. There is mini golf, play grounds galore, pizza bar you name it I am sure they have it here.
BTW, a wet tent packed up in the morning smells like a WET DOG 8 hours later times 10. Whislt we do not normally pack the tent up wet, due to circumstance we had no choice. Thankfully its nice and hot outside so it is drying rapidly. We have devised a way of keeping all our gear dry to, by covering with a water prof tarpolen before packing up, works a charm.
We will get some more photos tomorrow but for now its bed time for all involved as tomorrow hails the start of Theme park rides and countless hours standing in ques to have some wild and wicked fun.
Over and out.......................
