Yes, it's so true. We were just talking to our neighbours last night. They went to go to another C.P with friends, the place was empty. They priced up going in and they said $75 each (both families with 3 kids so the parent tax made it much more). So they walked away. They said if it were 50 bucks, they both would of gone in there and the place makes $100 from its empty spots, instead it stayed empty. But I will also say, we are staying out at a farm camp right now for $10 a night just out of town. There are about 5 C.Ps in town and they all charging around $70. The C.Ps all look pretty full while there's only 3 of us out here at the off grid farm stay. So people keep going to the the C.Ps, even when there are cheaper options, and so the C.P's keep charging what they charge.

greg you here

It was a sweet little town, appreciate your feedback, thanks for watching.

Well there you go. Thanks for telling us.

The "U" is an "oo" as in "put" so "cool-in". Enjoy your vids.

@@SvedosTrippinWA has some interesting ways of pronouncing towns. We were getting wrong all the time.

@biglap.australia thanks for the comment, we've been told about our mistake like a dozen times now haha.

@@SvedosTrippin oh dear.

hahaha the kids did enjoy the slide, it made us oldies sore and regretful haha. But it was pretty fun.

Oh gawd, east coast prices. Bloody hell, thanks for watching.

Thanks mate, appreciate the feedback.

meliissa good

Yeah, we do love a good pun don't we. The YT sure has grown since TAS.

thanks, our bad for the mispronunciation.

Thanks mate, if you spot us, come say hi.

Thanks Corrie. Glad to have your support on our "fair" caravan park rate. We are happy to be back out and exploring again, feels like its been a while.

Thanks Lyn, glad to hear it. We're happy to be back out exploring Aus after a bit of an X-mas break.

Will.have go see if we can see them at some point.

Yes sometimes we escape the heat at a C.P. we try to avoid them where possible.

I do agree with your thoughts on the per child fee vs per site fee, something we will be more careful about if we talk about this in the future as we very much HATE the parent tax as well.

Thanks guys, happens alot, but at least people correct us haha.

Yup, it's an expensive place to tour, but it's got some bloody amazing highlights too. Thanks for watching and commenting.

@@SvedosTrippin indeed. Can’t wait to go back.

Nailed it, such a good little town.

I mean sure, we have pronounced it wrong as we have been told many many times now. But if the place is pronounced koolin why is it not spelled koolin. Sorry for our honest mistake.

Hi mate, specific to your comment, we stayed at a wicked free camp before getting on the spirit, it had the most incredible sunset and was about 1 hour out from the ferry. It's called "Bunjils lookout" in the Maude recreation reserve. Thank me later and enjoy Tassie and thanks for watching and commenting.

Hey Rob. We use the B.E.S.T filter. They are one of the most expensive but they also last alot longer than other filters so in the long run they save you $. No complaints on ours (not affiliated). Thanks for watching.

Yeah $145 a night for a patch of dirt with a power supply and a tap. It's getting bloody ridiculous. A motel in Australia will cost that and they provide bricks and morter, linen and have cleaning fees. And $150 a night in many asian countries will be a penthouse sweet. Someone's got to rain these C.P's in.

​@@SvedosTrippin Yep totally agree. Its like there is a competition who can charge the most! I don't understand why people pay these crazy fees. We do have a choice, there are a lot of rec reserves and some parks that are reasonable and fair. Stay away from these expensive parks charging these high fees and for certain, the price will drop.

yeah, we are a bit slack with wikki camps, cant say we have ever posted in the fee's section. occasionally leave reviews that's about it.

Hi john. We bought the starlink pole attachment from starlink and put it on our telescopic pole that we had allready to raise our MIMO antenna. The pole came from a company called telco antenna.

We payed $55 to go to the pool and the slide. It wasn't free.

When u look up the caravan park. Its shows the pool and waterslide. Keep up the great work. ❤

Haha 😄

Our bad then, but we're not the only ones running around saying it wrong haha.

If it's pronounced koolin, why isn't it spelled koolin?

Thanks for your support. And yes at anything over $60 its simply unaffordable for us and we will just avoid it and if the town doesn't offer anything (free camp, show grounds etc.) we simply can't afford to visit. Judging from feed back, that's the case for many, however many still show up and so the C.P's don't change.

We thought it was a lovely town with alot of effort put into the facilities. The park that we spent time at was one of the best we have seen and in such a tiny town. $30 seemed fair to support that effort. Thanks for watching.

yeah.... You are obviously in an expensive area. We have to avoid area's like that as we simply cant afford it. We are currently at off grid at a farm in a location that is other wise pretty expensive at $70+ for the C.P's. The off grid farm for us is $10 a night. As a result we can afford to stay here for longer and spend some money in the community, if this farm weren't here, we would have to move on in 1 or 2 days.

Yeah, we can't see how our kids would use $10 each worth of resources every day. It's just making more money of parents which is a pretty sad buisness model isn't it.
