Caravan Parks
Seabreeze Tourist Park, Airlie Beach Queensland
For Airlie Beach accommodation we stayed at the Seabreeze Tourist Park, Cannonvale Qld and we thought it was the overall best Caravan Park in Airlie Beach.
Table of Contents
Seabreeze Tourist Park Accommodation
The Seabreeze Tourist Park is directly opposite the ocean waters of the famous Whitsundays and is an easy boardwalk stroll to the Marina and township of Airlie Beach.
Accommodation at the tourist park includes Cabins, Villas and Bungalows as well as Powered and Unpowered sites.
Seabreeze Tourist Park Facilities
There are two pools within the Seabreeze Caravan Park with the newer one at the back and including a good small fun park. There is also another basic pool at the front of the complex.
The amenities block is unique with individual bathrooms with a shower and toilet.
A great Camp kitchen is onsite with BBQ’s and kitchen facilities provided for all the guests.
We had excellent phone coverage with Telstra, Vodafone and Optus and there is Free Wifi also available.
Are pets allowed at Seabreeze Tourist Park?
The park is Pet friendly, we had our Golden Retriever MACKS with us.
The staff at the Seabreeze Tourist Park are all very friendly and helpful to book tours and arranging any possible discounts. They also have an area to store your rig at a very reasonable cost while you travel to the islands.
With no Free Camping in Airlie Beach we found the Seabreeze Tourist Park was very good value for money accommodation.
A Shopping Centre is within easy walking distance next door and includes Coles and other range of shops plus the popular Banjo’s Tavern.
Cost to stay was $35 per night for 2 adults plus $10 extra for Matthew. During our stay there was a Stay 7 nights and pay for 6 nights offer available.

7 Essentials – Tours to Experience
- Reefsleep in the Whitsundays is an amazing adventure. Spend the night on a pontoon sleeping in a swag on Hardy’s Reef in the Great Barrier Reef
- The Ocean Rafting tour from Airlie Beach is a truly fun day out. They took us to the best snorkeling places and the entire day was amazing
- For the best Full Day Island tour in Cairns we recommend the Fitzroy Island tour
- The Atlantic Clipper Full Day Sail is another fun and exciting experience in the Whitsundays. We can highly recommend doing this tour
- If you are on the East Coast, you can swim with Humpback Whales on the Sunshine Coast. The tour leaves from Mooloolaba
- Swimming with Whale Sharks at Exmouth is also extremely popular and a great day out with the team from Eco Adventures on Lattitude 22
- One of Tasmania’s best tours is the Tasman Island Cruise with Pennicott Wilderness Journeys out of Port Arthur. Three hours of cruising the highest sea cliffs in the Southern Hemisphere and enjoying an up close look at hundreds of seals as well as dolphins and birdlife.

Whitsundays Tours
There are so many fabulous tours that you can do in the Whitsundays. Here are our 3 favourite tours:
Reefsleep
Ever wanted to sleep under the stars in a Swag on a Pontoon out on the majestic Great Barrier Reef?
Read all about our Reefsleep experience: Us, a Swag, a Pontoon and a lot of water
You’ll enjoy spending your day snorkelling, lazing on the pontoon, checking out the coral from the semi-submersible glass bottom boat and then spend the night gazing at the stars.
Book your Reefsleep Experience here>
Ocean Rafting Northern Exposure Tour
If you are looking for a fast fun tour in the Whitsundays, you’ll have the ride of your life on an Ocean Rafting Tour. We chose the Northern Exposure Tour as it offers more snorkelling time. The Southern Lights Tour spends more time at the southern end of Whitehaven Beach and a little less time snorkelling.
Read about our Ocean Rafting: Ocean Rafting the Great Barrier Reef in Whitsundays
Both Ocean Rafting tours include snorkelling and time on the spectacular Whitehaven Beach on Whitsunday Island, the largest of the 74 islands in the Whitsundays.

Book your Ocean Rafting Southern Lights Tour here>
Atlantic Clipper Day Tour
Our most recent tour in the Whitsundays was on the majestic Atlantic Clipper which has 2 slides and a spa pool on board.
The Atlantic Clipper is the largest boat touring the Whitsundays and the floating playground is heaps of fun not just for the young, but for all ages!
It includes a great day of snorkelling, fun on the slides, soaking up the sun on deck or in the spa, morning tea, lunch and afternoon tea and a sensational sunset sail on the return trip back to the marina.
Book your Atlantic Clipper Day Tour here>
Coral Beach
Drive out to Shute Harbour and take the short bushwalk to the amazing Coral Beach from the car park at Shutehaven.
Views of nearby Daydream Island with parts of South Molle and North Molle Islands can be seen from Coral Beach which is aptly named for the millions of coral fragments that cover the shore.

Caravan Parks
Port Lincoln Caravan Park, South Australia
We had to look for a good Port Lincoln Caravan Park when MACKS our Golden Retriever got sick in Ceduna and needed urgent treatment.
We found the Port Lincoln Tourist Park the perfect place to stay.
Port Lincoln is located on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia and is considered Australia’s Seafood capital.
Our site had the most amazing ocean views over Boston Bay and is just a short stroll to a small jetty where we caught plenty of squid.
Fresh Calamari was an enjoyable part of our diet here at the Port Lincoln Caravan Park.
Table of Contents
Port Lincoln Caravan Park Facilities
The Caravan Park Free Wifi is good too, which isn’t often the case with Caravan Parks.
There are several amenities blocks which are very good, although not modern, with hot showers and excellent strong water pressure.
Two excellent camp kitchens are also on site with under cover BBQ’s, fridge and TV.
The staff at the Port Lincoln Caravan Park were really friendly and great to us, remaining patient as we dealt with our sick dog.
There is also a kids playground for the boys and girls to enjoy.
A Dump point is also available.
The Port Lincoln Caravan Park is set on a hillside and therefore some sites, including much of the unpowered section, is located on sloping grounds and may not be level.
We would recommend asking to go for a walk and choose the site that best suits you before being allocated a spot or setting up.
Stunning sunrises are the best part of the day as it rises over the ocean providing the most spectacular views.
Are pets allowed at this Port Lincoln Caravan Park?
The Port Lincoln Tourist Park is pet friendly and we stayed here whilst our dog MACKS was recovering from Geriatric Vestibular Disease.
We can also very highly recommend the Lincoln Veterinary Centre, they were superb in diagnosing and looking after MACKS.
Keep an eye out around the grounds for the Bunny Rabbits that come out to feed during the afternoon.
Read more: Traveling Australia with our dog MACKS
Cost to Stay at the Port Lincoln Caravan Park
Cost for us was $32 per night plus $10 for Matthew less the Top Tourist discount. Having stayed for a week we received 1 night free and our week stay totalled $226.80.
Update: September 2021

How to get to this Port Lincoln Caravan Park
From the Lincoln Highway/B100 take the Light Street exit at the roundabout. In 110 metres turn right onto Tasman Terrace.
Proceed through 2 roundabouts and continue straight on Tasman Terrace before turning left onto Hindmarsh Street.
In 150 metres turn right, then in 50 metres turn left and in 20 metres the Port Lincoln Caravan Park will be on your left.
5 Essentials – Outside RV Accessories
- To plug your RV with standard 15amp in to standard residential 10amp power source you will need a converter. We love our waterproof Ampfibian and after over 4 years it’s still perfect.
- Most people carry a Generator for back up power. 4wd Supacentre has a good low cost and popular generator while the Yamaha 2000w is a robust yet quiet excellent performer.
- A 20m 15amp Power Lead will ensure you reach your power source in Caravan Parks and Campgrounds.
- You will want a good blue Drinking Water Hose. Your typical green garden hose is not suitable for drinking from.
- A 4 way tap handle will help you find water whenever you need it

Makaybe Diva Statue
Makaybe Diva is the first racehorse to achieve 3 wins in the Melbourne Cup and these three wins were in consecutive years -2003, 2004 and 2005.
Add to this fabulous record, Makaybe Diva is also the only mare to ever win more than one Melbourne Cup.
Local Port Lincoln artist Ken Martin who sculpted the bronze statue took 9 months to complete the monument which was officially unveiled in 2006.
Check out the statue of this awesome racehorse which stands proudly at the Port Lincoln waterfront.
Flinders Archway
The Flinders Archway commemorates the famous navigator Matthew Flinders. After setting sail on an expedition from England Flinders first arrived on the west coast of South Australia in 1802.
He continued to explore, map and name the South Australian coastline. In 1892, Flinders named Port Lincoln in honour of his native Province.
The stone archway was erected in May 1936. and a statue of Matthew Flinders RN and his cat Trim, donated to the Axel Stenross Maritime Museum by the Lang Foundation, was unveiled in February 2017.
Axel Stenross Maritime Museum
The Axel Stenross Maritime Museum right on the waterfront is full of restored historic vessels, marine artefacts and assorted relics. Axel, a Finnish Ships Carpenter sailed to Port Lincoln in 1927 to load grain and decided to stay.
Knowledgeable volunteers and unique interpretive displays throughout the museum tell Axel’s the amazing story.
You can also discover the lost art of wooden boat building, his original living quarters, workshops and the still operating slipway.
Open Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays from 9.30am – 4pm and Saturdays and Public Holidays from 1pm – 4.30pm.
Winter Hill Lookout
From the Winters Hill Lookout, the views of Port Lincoln, the bay and Boston Island are simply amazing.
To reach the Winters Hill Lookout, it is simply a short 5 minute drive from the Port Lincoln CBD and was easily accessible in our motorhome.

Caravan Parks
Denham Caravan Park, WA
This is a beautiful seaside town within the Coral Bay region of Western Australia with excellent Denham Caravan Park accommodation.

There is no pool at the Denham Seaside Caravan Park however, swimming is available at the beach out the front.
It’s a great opportunity to get some sand between your toes, put out your towel and enjoy the spectacular beach and a swim.

Denham is located approximately 825kms north from Perth and is about a 9 hour drive from the Capital City.
From Shark Bay to Denham simply follow Shark Bay Road.
5 Essentials – 4WD Accessories
- 4WD Recovery Tracks will get you out of most situations, especially in sand. We bought a pair of these generic branded tracks that have worked well whilst other brands include the Australian made TRED or the Australian Designed and made MAXTRAX 4wd Recovery Tracks.
- For our 4WD we went with this EDECOA 1500 3000w Pure Sine Wave Inverter which has been excellent value and works great.
- I’m a massive fan of my Victron IP65 15a Battery Charger. I use it often to give batteries a boost and it really is an essential part of my tool kit.
- When camping my Kings 200w Solar Blanket gets a lot of use and works really well. Only downside is it doesn’t work with Lithium batteries.
- Brass Tyre Deflators are a fast and easy way to lower your tyre pressure to your desired level. Perfect for when you are hitting the beach.
What is there to see and do in Denham?
Ocean Park Aquarium
The Ocean Park Aquarium is a great way to see some of Australia’s most amazing marine life in their natural habitat.
Ocean Park is just 8kms south of Denham which is close to Australia’s most western point.

Caravan Parks
Atherton Caravan Park on the Atherton Tablelands
Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park on the Atherton Tablelands Queensland was our Atherton Tablelands accommodation for our 1 night in town.
We only had a 1 night stay at the Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park. In typical Big 4 style the park provided very good modern amenities, big pool and excellent lush grounds.
Elevated 752 metres above sea level Atherton has considerable rainfall each year and humid subtropical climate, therefore the countryside is usually a rich green colour.
Atherton is just 81.7kms from Cairns and is just around an hour and a half drive away over the range.
Read more about all of the: Best Things to See and Do in Cairns.
Table of Contents
Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park Property Amenities
The Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park is nestled among 6 acres of tropical gardens and is a haven for a variety of birds. They offer a range of accommodation including cabins, villas, a lodge as well as Powered and Unpowered sites for RVs.
Property Amenities include a Salt Water Pool and Balanese cabana and barbecue.
There’s also a kids adventure playground and a special area to wash down your mountain bike. The Atherton Mountain Bike Park is located directly behind this Atherton Caravan Park.
A direct link from the Caravan Park to Yabi and Baldy Mountains is handy for avid bushwalkers. Although we are yet to scale Yabi Mountain, the views of the Tablelands from the summit are apparently amazing.
We had good Telstra coverage and Vodafone and Optus were ok.
Are Pets allowed at the Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park?
The Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park is pet friendly. This is one of the reasons we chose the Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park as we were travelling with our Golden Retriever MACKS at the time.
Cost for the night was $45 for 3 adults with our Big 4 membership.

What attractions are close to the Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park?
Tinaroo Dam
Tinaroo Dam is only a 22 minute drive from the Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park. You can drive around the entire lake but the road does have a few potholes so you need to drive carefully.
Lake Tinaroo is open to swimming, boating and fishing however you do require a Stocked Impoundment Permit. A SIP can be purchased online from the Queensland Government Fisheries or a Queensland Post Office.
The lake does have a number of resident fresh water crocodiles which have been reported and known to have been in the lake for a number of years.
Millaa Millaa Falls
There are heaps of magnificent waterfalls in the Atherton region and Millaa Millaa is one not to be missed. Two of the other falls on the Waterfalls Circuit are Zillie and Ellinjaa Falls.
Millaa Millaa falls surrounded by beautiful ferns and lush rainforest are one of the most photographed falls in Australia! At times as the water cascades into the plunge pool below it looks like lace. The pristine plunge pool at the foot of the falls is a perfect place to cool off in.
Keep your eyes peeled as you may even spot a platypus in these waters.
_____________________________________________
Fitzroy Island
One of the great tours out of nearby Cairns is a day trip to Fitzroy Island. Cairns is just over 80kms from the Big 4 Atherton Caravan Park and it takes just 45 minutes by ferry from the Cairns.
Enjoy a fabulous day of tropical island paradise on Fitzroy Island by swimming, snorkeling, relaxing on Nudey Beach or enjoying a cocktail at the bar. It is an awesome day out!
