Adelaide Showground to host an RV park

The Royal Agricultural & Horticultural Society of South Australia (RA&HS) has revealed its development plans for the South-East corner of the Adelaide Showground. The new multi-purpose space can accommodate music festivals throughout the year, Cirque du Soleil, horses during the Royal Adelaide Show and a motorhome park at other times. RA&HS Chief Executive John Rothwell says the development has a high standard of design with the flexibility outside of Show-time to accommodate multiple events and services. “Whilst the $7 million investment for the Society is significant, it is expected the development will fully pay for itself within a ten-year period,”

Keep designated RV parking for RVs!

To our dismay, we found the RV parking area FULL of cars, one motor home, no caravans. RVs had found some longer areas beside the river. Meanwhile, there were plenty of spaces in the regular carpark, closest the centre.

Confused about Greenpatch?

Image Courtesy Cairns Regional Council If you’re confused about whether Greenpatch Reserve is opened or closed, you’re not alone. The popular campsite had been closed for upgrades and we were all thrilled when it re-opened November 1, only to be surprised that it closed again a few short weeks later.

The Council have reviewed their procedures,
