saltwater pool

adding 200 kg of salt to the pool at cania gorge tourist retreat
After the powered sites, our next project was changing our chlorinated pool into a saltwater pool, which is better for environment and health. Besides putting in an electrical device, we had to add 200 kg of salt. The pool is ready for use again.

full moon at cania gorge national park
After arriving at the Cania Gorge Tourist Retreat and settling in, we decided to head to Lake Cania and have a look around that area. As the sun was already quite low in the sky we decided to wait around and see if we could get a good sunset shot which would reflect and enhance the reddish hues of the rock face and we were not disappointed in what we saw. We were reluctantly preparing to leave as we were enjoying the solitude of the location when we noticed an almost full moon creep up into view – absolutely magic.

easter at cania gorge tourist retreat
One of our guests made this beautiful picture of our park during the Easter weekend. We were fully booked, but as you can see, it still was very spacious around the sites. It was our first Easter as the new owners of cania gorge tourist retreat and it was great to see so many people having a good time. Thanks for this beautiful picture!

Safety

blue gum at cania gorge tourist retreat

After the park was hit by a storm we knew exactly which trees needed to be cut down or pruned. After 2 long days of hard work we pruned 6 trees and cut 5 trees down.  All the trees where at the border of the park so they all could be dropped back in to the creek. It took a lot of work to get a big Blue back in the creek. It was behind the Koala cabins so we couldn’t make a mistake. With the expertice of Ray we managed. The park is getting ready for the busy winterseason and we are looking forward to it

Every guest can sent pictures taken at the gorge and/or our park to us or Flickr so they might end up on our website !!!
