Supporting Caravan Clubs and their Members

2018 Bendigo Leisurefest

The Bendigo Leisurefest was well worth the effort. It is estimated we had between 40-50 worthwhile enquiries from passers by, in joining a caravan club, over the three days of the event.

A big thank you goes to the members of the three Clubs, Aussie Adventurers, Central Vic & Bendigo who supplied volunteers to man our stand.

The event ran from 23rd to 25th November 2018 and it was reported that the crowds were substantial over the event.

Roadside Rest Areas

Concerns have been expressed by Truck drivers that some RVs have been parking in their Truck Bays.

Please ensure that you do not park in the truck rest bays as you might find yourself coming off worse for wear.

Truckies and RV travellers must work together, it is not a one-way street.
