Huonville Caravan Park, Tasmania.

A few photos from our caravan in the Huonville Caravan Park before Christmas 2021 and you can see there are not many caravans or motor-homes, however it was about half full for Christmas Day, and later totally full just after Christmas.



There two photos of the murals were taken just before the Office.


The Boom Gate to go in and out, the park has fences all around except by the river. The other photo is of one way we cook outside the caravan, in this instances we were boiling cornbeef to have cold for Christmas Dinner and Tea along with Turkey which was in the oven inside the caravan.   We in Australia are used to having cold meals for Christmas such as cold meat and salads.  When I'm having Christmas Dinner at home we usually have a hot meal unless it's very hot weather.


Walked to the other side of the park.  Photo above is part of the Amenities block and the washing lines.  Below is the little river and Santa came around there in a Jet Boat to the bank where the sand is.


There are barbecues and fire-pits scattered here and there for people to use free of charge.

 A shot of our caravan from a distance, it's the first one.

  2. I do not understand those people who do not like to travel in a caravan!
    Beautiful landscapes to enjoy and most importantly, freedom!

    1. There are many people in Australia who love to travel in a caravan because they can come and go whenever they like, stay longer in places is a bonus with their own accommodation. Then there are people who prefer apartments for holidays or motels. We have done the later two many times also.

    1. It is Bill, also has that real country feel to it as there are a few farm animals there as well fenced off in a different area.

    1. Always green there, never seen it any different..so different from many caravan parks within Australia that we've stayed at, many are just dirt or dust due to no rain.

  6. I'd rather have a hot meal for Christmas, but a cold one is practical.

    1. If you've always had a hot meal then that is what you are used to and it probably wouldn't seem like Christmas Dinner unless you did have it. We are used to hot weather and cold meal mostly..

  8. If it was summer weather here on Christmas Day I would not bother to have a hot turkey dinner either, but would be far happier eating cold meats and salads.

  10. When I was young, when dinosaurs roamed the earth, I enjoyed comfortable camping a lot. Gradually campgrounds became less pleasant with less room between sites and an increasing amount of noise pollution from various types of music and TV. The place you are showing us seems quite nice.

    1. Thank goodness we don't encounter those things these days except on occasions at some caravan parks with cramping. These days no noise after 10pm, no running onto or into others space. TV are not to be loud...all these things and more are monitored by owners of the parks or their staff...it's great these days..

  11. What a beautiful environment it is there.
    I understand that many people go out with the caravan at this time.
    I think autumn has begun with you, spring has begun here. Wonderfully all the birds are singing again and the trees are blossoming, I enjoy that so much.
    For me spring is the most beautiful season than autumn and winter summer comes last, I don't like the heat hence.
    Greetings Irma

    1. Yes Autumn here now. I like Spring too, like all the seasons as they each bring something different. Love the heat Irma, but of course not too hot :)

  12. Una vacanza originale per il Natale, sono stato campeggiatore per moltissimi anni ma per Natale visto che da noi è inverno non ho mai campeggiato, anche se avrebbe il suo fascino lo stesso, una vita libera.Ciao e buona giornata, un abbraccio Angelo.

    1. We always stayed home for Christmas to have it with all the family, then my husbands parents passed as did mine and then eldest son and his family Christmas time was the only time he could take off from his business, so we all ended up going away for the past few Christmas's.

  14. I would enjoy staying here Margaret, it's lovely. The mural is a treat, and how you spend Christmas Day. I remember my holiday times in a caravan for many years and they are all fun and enjoyable memories.
