It was another great Easter at Echo Bend Camping Park.

The weather was perfect for the visitors to either relax at their camp site, do some short walks or go for a drive and see what’s in the region.

The campers can always expect a good time, have some fun being involved in the planned annual events.

Each event had a good number of kids and adults joining in.

Saturday afternoon was the start, they could decorating their tent site, so the Easter Bunny could find them Sunday morning.

The Easter Bunny walk proved very popular with a lot of new families taking rememberable photos at the Bunny Tree.

This has been a special time for the Webb family through the years.

Now the children assist with running the event and all excited for the grandchildren to be involved.

The gumboot throwing competition started with the little ones, two years, four-six years, juniors, teens then adults.

Most sections had to have heats as it became very popular to have a go.

The main excitement is always with the billy boiling competition.

With eight teams of two, all eager to get that fire started, some struggled, others went steaming ahead to have the flames roaring within a few minutes.

It did take some time for the water to actually boil, with our very proud winners taking home the chief billy boiling mugs, a great souvenir of their Echo Bend Camping Park Easter holiday.

The whole weekend had been perfect for camping. The weather held off for the afternoon activities. Luckily the storm clouds went around the campground.

There was a drizzle for the evening entertainment but didn’t last too long so all could enjoy Mark Lindsay performing to cap off another great Easter for 2025.
