Cullulleraine Travel Articles

While travelling east from Renmark in South Australia we came across the small community of Cullulleraine – about 40 minutes drive from Mildura in Victoria. Bushmans Rest Caravan Park sits right on the waters edge of Lake Cullulleraine which is a large man made freshwater lake ideal for swimming, fishing, water skiing, canoeing, etc. Apparently the water is pumped from the river for the lake and then used from the lake by farmers in the area - the water level remains constant. 

This is a lovely caravan park on the banks of the lake with great access to the water lots of shade and grassed areas for camping or a relaxing picnic. Some features of the park include:

• large camp kitchen - plenty of seating in the shade
• barbeques
• Hall with kitchen for hire - great for meetings or family reunion
• pets are welcome
• grassed areas suitable for tents, caravans and motor homes.
• variety of accommodation -  large houses (3 & 4 bedrooms), smaller houses and cabins (2 & 3 bedrooms)
• camp fires – fire drum provided - bring your own wood or buy some from the office
• amenities
• children's playground
• dump point

The staff at Bushman Rest Caravan Park were very welcoming and happy for us to park the van and have a look around. There is a boat ramp located right beside the park and there were plenty of boats enjoying a day on the water. A walking track leads form the park around the lake and apparently this is a very popular bird watching location with over 70 species being recorded in the area. 

The park is away from the highway and this looks like a lovely peaceful spot for a relaxing holiday - we will definitely be back!
