Listed above are each of the Easter visits by the Gang, with the initial year's being
allocated a spot every 2nd year.
1986 was the first official Easter that the Park was open for business.
2010 represents the 25th ANNIVERSARY of the Park, on 4th April 2010.
Numerous other visits other than Easter, have also been attended by members of the team.
All photos and movies are Gaz's unless otherwise stated on the hyperlinks.
History: The area was owned by the MMBW (Board
of Works) with the building of the Thompson Dam up until 1985.
Dianne moved in on 4th April 1985, but final settlement of ownership occured in June 1985.
The first official Easter that the camp was open for business, was Easter
1986, approximately one year later. Initial bookings were very popular, and an
alternating 2-year booking arrangement was enforced.
