Doggone ... that's some rig you've got there mate!

WE all know that touring caravans have been getting bigger, but this is ridiculous! Travellers at the three-and-a-half star Arno Bay Caravan Park on the Eyre Peninsula in South Australia thought they were seeing things when this "rig" edged its way past their caravans. But it was only Steven Dunn using his trusty Nissan Patrol to manoeuvre a new cabin into position at his 75-site park, a member of the Family Parks chain. His wife Belinda told Caravanning News: "We have been here for 12 months and are just putting in four new absolute beachfront cabins. Steven used the Patrol to move some of them and our old bomb of a tractor for the bigger cabins." The dog-friendly park offers a whole range of amenities .... including a coin-operated dog shampoo and wash facility.
