21.01.2022 What an absolutely beautiful big Echidna. We don't have the privilege of seeing them daily so it is always a wonderful sight when they decide to wonder around the fringes of the park.
20.01.2022 We would like to update to our interested readers about our wombats. I am sorry to say that we have lost almost all our wombats that we had in our park and surrounding area due to Sarcoptic Mange. There has been a large number of volunteers associated with Wombat Rescue Tasmania plus ourselves and residents in the park over the last three years doing our upmost to save them, but unfortunately, we are now down to about five or six in the area. Treating a wombat is exacerbated ...by the fact that they live in a burrow which is a perfect breeding ground for the mange mite, they also share burrows, so if a healthy one decides to shelter for the night, and there is active mange in the burrow, then off is goes again. They also are not too happy about being treated, and that is probably the main reason for us not being as successful as we would have liked in treated these guys. I am attaching a picture of a wombat that we believe we have saved, but it still displays some crust around its legs and some around its face. I would like to thank all those Volunteers’ with Wombat Rescue Tasmania who have the passion to try and make a difference to the outcome of our Native Wildlife. See more
19.01.2022 For anyone concerned, there are no bush fires in the Tamar Valley. It has been hot but a cool breeze has been blowing off the river. We have availability for unpowered sites and 2 powered sites. Air quality is good. Our thoughts are with all those who may be effected by the fires around Tasmania.

03.01.2022 Wow what a week at Kelso Sands. Firstly, a huge apology to the guests who had the unfortunate experience of finding they had no showers on the morning of their departure on the Saturday before the start of the long weekend. Also a thank you for accepting our apology at the time & also for advising us of the issue. That was definitely not planned. Upon investigation it was found that the main control unit in our hot water service had blown up taking the main power circuit for ...all the showers in the amenities block with it! Many thanks must next go to the amazing families who elected to stay and support us even when we informed them there were no showers or hot water for their stay. Hats off to you for your understanding!!!! A huge shout out to Reeces at Invermay who got the only replacement hot water service in Tasmania up from Hobart overnight, to our electrician, to Peter Kelly, our gas plumber who dropped everything to diagnose the problem, get everything up and running by Tuesday evening before the long weekend. Thank you all so much. Last but not least, what a fantastic long weekend we have just had. Thank you to the many groups that came up and enjoyed the park despite the showery weather on Saturday. Congratulations must also go to the brave families who celebrated the opening of our pool. Much fun and laughter was heard despite the water being somewhat below optimum temperature still. Don’t forget your booking for Christmas & New Years. We have The Songbirds Karaoke booked for New Years Night starting at 8pm for all guests to enjoy. They were a great hit last year with kids and mums & dads all having a great time. 5pm. Parks & wildlife love to come and meet with the kids and talk to them about wildlife in the area and how to look after them.
