RV TRAVEL
This is not your usual caravan park. It is a very special glamping bush camp. The word‘ glamping ' is important because Wide Bay Getaway is not your usual bush camp, either. Nickey and Steve have owned the land for about 25 years, and about five years ago they started turning it into their idea of a bush camp, which took them around 3.5 years. Oh boy, did they do an amazing job! I could run out of adjectives trying to describe the feel, atmosphere and pleasure of Getaway.
When we pulled up outside the little office, almost right away the vibe of Wide Bay Getaway hit and I could feel myself relax. There is just something that makes you feel like you are already on holiday and thoroughly enjoying the peace and quiet of Getaway!
Animal statues abound...
YOU WON’ T WANT TO LEAVE
Wide Bay Getaway has amazing artworks all over the land. Kangaroos outnumber the rest but the emu is my favourite. It wasn’ t easy to choose one, but I did – just! When you look at them, it’ s hard to believe that the local artist was only 13 when he made them!
If you arrive at a busy time, Steve will lead you to your site because they are not shown on the map, nor are they marked on the ground. Why? Well, because during off-peak times, you get to go around the park and find your own spot. There are power heads and you choose which empty one you want to plug into.
