Bribie Island - Hard to Take.

Almost away from the hustle and bustle of Brisbane only approximately 1 hour north; cross the bridge and you are in a great close to Brisbane holiday place.

Bribie has a choice of calm and surf as the bridge crossing gives you the inlet side and the far point gives you the surf side.

Three caravan parks are on show and our experience at the Bongaree Caravan Park (Welsby Pde) was most enjoyable; overlooking the calm side waters with good security and lighting and well maintained amenities. The park has no pool or other over the top not required items for regular travelers. The park is located next to the bowls club (50m) which offers great bistro and coffee shop meals.

The price for us staying for 6 weeks including Easter was $132 per week and in our opinion was without doubt the best value for the location and park facilities (Les will help out with van parking if required).

Great place, great park, and without doubt great value and location.

Van Repaired And Ready To Go

No pictures as nothing really to show; from hail damage we got at Bribie APIA cleared the claim for the van to be repaired. APIA could not been better in their assessment and approval of the claim; we held back on the repairs owing to our Christmas holiday, with the damage being only superficial it could wait.

The repairs were done at Sunland Caravans which is where we purchased the van and all went well and to a set time line which was vitally important given our future plans.

We did require a few modifications undertaken while the van was with them which were all completed to our satisfaction.

We did have some issues with the DVD/Radio/CD player and our Dometic fridge (the fridge only turned out to be a fuse problem). As with all builds some minor problems may evaluate over time; with Sunland offering a 3 year warranty it adds to peace of mind in being able to get these things rectified.

Sunland could not be more helpful in getting the CD unit replaced and Dometic involved to track the fault with the fridge.

I would like to thank Richard and Roy at Sunland for the modifications, repairs and getting the radio and fridge problems sorted. Thanks also to all the crew working with Richard and to the guys in sales (John especially)
