Rusty & Monty

Rusty and his Marling Darling Python named Monty have lived in their caravan at Riverstone for the past 6.5 years.

Asked have you ever thought about moving your van off this property his response was "What for?? I am on an acre. I've got chickens, I've got fresh eggs, I've got the trees around me, its home....I've got the lot here brother, why move?".

Rusty bought his first motor bike at 16 and is still riding Nortons and triumphs. His King Neptune tattoo on his chest took over 5 hours of work and was done in Kings X.

Wayne and John had the smart idea of building this wind stopper out of beers..... and had no trouble finishing them in time.

Ralph from Shoalhaven Caravan Park

Raphael (Ralph) immigrated from Spain in the late 70's and he is the first to admit he has experienced racism first hand living in Australia. This proud passionate man with a zest for life is not one to shy away from confrontation, something he learnt in the Spanish Foreign Legion in his early 20's. 

With a Skippy tattoo on his forearm and his version of the Australian flag painted on his van, he is now more patriotic to this country than any other Australian I know. 

His religion is simple. His religion is Kindness and Respect, but he does also live by the Ying and Yang protocol and you better not get on his wrong side. He practises kick boxing daily to keep in great shape and now calls Shoalhaven Caravan Park home.

Nowra Greyhounds

I couldn't think of better way to spend the Sunday of the long weekend, than at the Nowra greyhound races with myself and my camera. The sun was shining and I was feeling lucky.

The total amount of people at the track was no more than 60, and I presume most of those had some connections to the dogs prior to the meet. The menu consisted of cans of VB, meat pies & of course hot chips with gravy.

Not knowing a thing about the dishlickers, I ended up guessing my way to 3 wins from 6 races and walked out in front. Great day out....GO "BLUE SHIMMER" GO!!!

Rustic Caravan Park

In the past 14 years Johanna has been counting different types of owls that frequent her caravan park, she has counted 13 different breeds in the trees. 

Locals and park visitors noticed her fondness towards owls and started buying and making little owls for her house. She now has over 683 different miniature owls within her home.

Rustic Caravan Park where Johanna lives (Bendalong, South Coast) is one of my favourite parks and has a very free, natural feeling. It is a hidden gem on the south coast, and if you enjoy camping check it out.
