More than just a favourite park
While members nominated parks from all over Australia, their reasons for loving them were remarkably similar.
It's the place where the kids make new friends. The camp kitchen that becomes the heart of the holiday. The thoughtful staff, the morning coffee, the dog-friendly extras and the memories that have everyone talking about their next trip before the current one has even finished.
And judging by the number of nominations these parks received, many of our members are already planning their return visit.
