BANNER BANNER Go bushwalking with the grandkids in the heights of the largest remaining tuart forest in the world, Ludlow Tuart Forest, or swimming with the little ones at Australia's greatest artificial reef at the Busselton Jetty. If you're concerned that the grandkids will get bored, don't worry, White Albatross Holiday Park in New South Wales has lots of special amusement facilities in its caravan holiday park including an on-site water park, games room, playground plus much more! If you're on the east coast, why not detour off the Pacific Highway where you will be greeted by the magnificent view of Nambucca Heads? Shayne Ridgewell, general manager of White Albatross Holiday Park, located in the heart of Nambucca Heads, said that the view and location of their caravan holiday park is one of the many reasons people keep coming back. "Some of our regulars have been coming here for up to 30 years. We've seen generations of families including children and grandkids," Ridgewell says. "Our park has a very relaxed atmosphere; you can keep a watchful eye on your children or grandkids from the comfort of your cabin or caravan site. It really couldn't be easier!" You can swim or fish in the Nambucca River or the Pacific Ocean all within a few steps from your cabin, caravan site or camping site. Where else could you have so much at your fingertips? 76 THE RETIREE SUMMER Memorable experiences, priceless memories Results from a recent UK Study, the Real Richness Report, which looked at the effects of caravanning and camping on families, showed that caravanning and camping improves social interaction, creates stronger family bonds, facilitates children's learning and even has a positive effect on kid's behaviour. No wonder families enjoy the caravanning experience, after all the memories you create with your loved ones are priceless. Lindsay believes that caravanning and camping teaches children how to improvise, play and be creative, which are all important parts of developing their perspective in life. "Caravanning and camping gives children a sense of freedom and adventure. It gives them a chance to learn and enjoy the outdoors," he said. "More importantly, caravanning and camping offers unlimited possibilities for both grandparents and grandkids, while enjoying an active outdoor holiday." NRMA Darlington Beach Holiday Park is located just 25 minutes from Coffs Harbour and is a great place to make new friends and spoil the grandkids with plenty of activities and facilities onsite, as well as a fantastic range of accommodation options. Michelle McAlister, park manager of NRMA Darlington Beach Holiday Park, said that the park offers an endless choice of activities, for both grandparents and grandkids, to make their stay as memorable as possible. "From sports and water activities, to arts and crafts, plays and acting to just plain kidding around, there's so much to do," McAlister said. "The kids will enjoy our sensational holiday activity program, we have held treasure hunts, crafts, sandcastle competitions, trivia nights and much more in the past to keep the little ones entertained."
