25.01.2022 #MeetYourGuard Private Malcolm Meakins enlisted into the Australian Army on the 23rd of August 2016. Previously to this, Meakins was a butcher by trade and dec...ided that he was ready for a career change, something that would hopefully challenge him and bring new experiences. After completing his initial training, Private Meakins was posted to 176 Air Dispatch, RAAF Base Richmond as an Air Dispatcher. The role of an Air Dispatcher is to pack, rig, load and unload stores/equipment for all modes of air movement. Private Meakins was posted to Australia's Federation Guard in 2019 where he has proven himself to be a vital asset of the Guard. During his time at the Guard he has become a Drummer for the Precision Drill Team and is often driving the bus to events and ceremonies. Thanks for your service Mal!

One of the exceptional aspects of this park is the peaceful environment. There are no roads around the park and no roads bordering the park - just the bush and the beach and the one road that gets you here. There is a wide range of accommodation and sites with something to suit every family and every budget. Park attractions include BBQs and camp kitchens, a games room and family entertainment area, fire pit, jumping pillow, water slides, swimming pool, kids club during school holidays, playground, and pedal buggies. The entertainment area 'Goanna Cove' is available as a conference venue and for events such as birthday parties and weddings. The park has direct access to beautiful Nambucca Beach and only 2km from the town centre, approximately a 30 minute walk. The holiday park is surrounded by hectares of state forest and the beach. It's truly a family haven where kids can run free and stay entertained for hours.
