This review is for Kilcunda General Store Cafe, Kilcunda VIC

verified email - 27 Sep 2013

A lovely place to have breakfast, morning tea, lunch or afternoon tea.

The cafe is located opposite some spectacular coastline. The best place to eat is at the outdoor tables but you can sit inside if its windy.

The food is great and very healthy. There is a good range on the menu - home cooked quality food.

Approximate cost: $15

An excellent bakery and cafe in the heart of Bordertown.

They have an excellent selection of cakes and slices. The vanilla slice is delicious.

The pies and pasties etc are very nice as well

There are some excellent historical displays in the cafe and it is a great place to break your trip.

This review is for Macedon Caravan Park, Macedon VIC

The park is well treed and is located on the outskirts of Macedon, on the other side of the railway line.

The sites are on grass and dirst and some are a little uneven.

The amenities block is quite old but it is clean.

There is a camp kitchen and barbeque area which is fully equipped and has a stove and oven.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Grampians Edge Caravan Park, Dadswells Bridge VIC

verified email - 24 Sep 2013

A pretty good park in a lovely location.

This is a bush camping park and there are places to light campfires near many of the sites.

The sites are on dirt and some are uneven.

The amenities is pretty old but they are kept clean. The showers have no door but they have 2 curtains - one instead of the door and the other to protect your clothing.

There is a camp kitchen / barbeque area near the back and a recreation hall / camp kitchen at the front. The recreation hall is excellent - big screen TV, pool tables, table tennis, heaps of books and comfy chairs.

The camp kitchen attached to it is full equipped including with an oven and hotplates.

There are excellent views of The Grampians from the edge of the park.

Approximate cost: $28

This review is for Murray Bridge Resort Caravan Park and Marina, Murray Bridge SA

There is not much here for your money.

Basically you get the use of an amenities block and the power.

There is NO camp kitchen but there is NOT even a barbeque to use. You need to be totally self sufficient.

Tjere is no playground and no access to the riverbank.

The sites are on grass and are uneven.

The amenities are ok with good water pressure in the showers.

This review is for Goolwa Camping And Tourist Park, Goolwa SA

verified email - 16 Sep 2013

A very nice rural park. The sites are on grass (not lawn) and look like they might get a bit muddy at times.

The park is located very close to the town centre.

There are some great facilities. The camp kitchen also has a nice lounge area with a TV. There is a stove with an oven - but the oven does cook quite slowly though. Microwave, toaster, kettle etc are all available.

There are nice dining tables and the place is quite cosy, with a nice decking outside.

There is also a well equipped barbeque area with several barbeques and tables.

The amenities are clean and well cared for.

Approximate cost: $35

This review is for The Cockle Train, Goolwa SA

verified email - 16 Sep 2013

A lovely scenic train ride around the coast.

The trip to Victor Harbour takes half an hour and there is a half hour turn around (literally), so you get to look around, then the return trip.

The track runs right around the coast with excellent views. We saw whales playing in the ocean on our trip (Mid September)

The carriages are well maintained and quite comfortable.

Approximate cost: $29

This review is for Adelaide Zoo, Adelaide SA

verified email - 14 Sep 2013

A great zoo.

It does not cover a big area but it is just so well set out.

The animal enclosures are modern and give the animals the opportunity to be challenged.

There are some great international animals here - flamingos, pandas, alligators as well as the old favourites, There are no elephants as the area is not big enough.

The zoo provides great information with interesting facts written up as well as a few skeletons.

Approximate cost: $30

This review is for Adelaide Caravan Park, Hackney SA

verified email - 12 Sep 2013

The location of this park is exceptional - right near the heart of the city - walking distance. It is on the Torrens River and next to the Adelaide Zoo.

Given that I guess that they don't have to try too hard!

There is NO camp kitchen - only 2 barbeques in the park - both away from van areas. They have a roof and lights but no walls so they are open to the elements. The one near the entrance does not even have a roof over the seating area.

The amenities are small (only 2 showers) and old but they are clean.

The sites are small and cramped and a lot are up against a fence that drops away to the river very steeply.

Approximate cost: $38

A great selection of pies and pasties. They all look so delicious.

There are also a great range of dessert pastries to select from. The strudels are brilliant.

The vanilla slice is sublime.

Always plenty to choose from
