G'day ##FIRSTNAME##
There’s a change in the air as we welcome autumn’s calm mornings, softer light and soon a gorgeous display of autumn leaves.
Records have been broken across Australia with unusual weather events pushing the boundaries of a normal summer. While a number of regions have been affected by floods and cyclone activity, we’re very fortunate our parks have been lucky to avoid damage.
BIG4 Holiday Parks are open for business and ready to welcome guests with the exception of our park in Mission Beach. Beachcomber Coconut Caravan Village was affected by Tropical Cyclone Yasi, but the park has been busy cleaning up, making repairs and will be open and ready to welcome guests by Easter.
We’ve prepared some great getaway ideas in this edition of BIG News. With 180 BIG4 Holiday Parks right around Australia to choose from, an autumn break can be as active or relaxing, or close or as far away, as you choose. Happy autumn holidays!
