Friday 18th Feb left Sandy Cape and headed back towrds Perth was going to go further north for 2 wks but there was a possible cyclone looming so didnt want to risk the weather turning nasty
Had an overnight stop at GinGin on the way down good liitle spot for a quick stop over
Then arrived on Sat 19th @ The Swan Valley Tourist park OMG what a shock and a park that is in such disrepair its really quite unsafe, there isnt a concrete slab that isnt cracked uneven or broken in some way, the bathrooms have got broken taps, BBq area is shocking and wouldnt cook dogs meat on there, tennis crts are in need of repair with net all broken and ripped, power points/poles are all old and rusted
So after trying to find a slab that we could get onto we set up !! well thats only the start of the drama,s The power pole we were connected to along with another rig couldnt keep the supply up to our van everytime something got turned on it tripped the whole pole out !!! after 2 days of this and getting totally frustrated and very annoyed I went to boot up the comp and nothing !!! the days of constant power outages and power surges fried the mother baord of comp so had to replace that so we moved our cord across to next row
Still the power supply from main street pole keep throwing everyone out Western Power said it was because the park poles were old and needed to be replaced by owner nah not going to happen another 2 days of no power and they checked the mains and it has completely fused out how it didnt start an electrical fire i dont know .. finally it got fixed only to have a massive freak storm come thru and know it all out again arghhhhh ..
So were moving !!!! I also found out that this park has had 2 suicides in the shower blocks 1 attempt failed there are some really unsettling ppl that are permanents and shouldnt be allowed to live in the conditions that they are ...
This park has been the first one weve come across that is this bad and in such a state of direpair the new managers all of 7 wks are banging heads with the owners for much needed improvements not going to happen ....
It has been a very upsetting and horrible stay here and looking forward to moving out ....
