After a beautiful drive with lots of green countryside we arrived at Casino and drove straight to the Leisure Centre. What a place to stay, it is costing us $20 per night or $120 per week so we get the 7th night free. It has plenty of activities but unfortunately they were not operating over the Christmas period and was to start again the following monday. There is a swimming pool, a large club house a BBQ area with two large BBQ's, a microwave, fridge lot of tables and chairs and a camp oven pit all under cover. There is a large shed called the Green hangout with craft on one end and a library. The rest of the building is a large club house for games such as carpet bowls, movies, 8 ball pool, tabletennis and social cards. A large garage called the mens shed (we do not know what is in that but will find out) a radio shack, art room, internet room, first aid hut and a disc bowls area and a nursery.
For camping there are powered sites with hedges separating each site, powered sights with ensuites, dump points at the amenity blocks (3) and a large dump site near the entrance. They have drive through sites, a mini rally site and a bush camping area.
There are a lot of permanent homes in the back area and they are very nice indeed most have two carports one large enough to house the biggest motor home and another for a car.
The social life here is fantastic with a happy hour in the BBQ area each afternoon, on Saturday at lunch there is a byo BBQ for all to attend. On monday there is Patchwork and quilting, self help art group, aqua aerobics and happy hour. Tuesday there is mens shed session, crafty travellers - chatter and craft social group, chatter and craft (second session), 8 ball pool, water aerobics and happy hour. Wednesday, happy golf, line dancing, social cards, water aerobics and happy hour. Thursday self help art group, crafty travellers, clogging-Appalachian mountain tap dancing and line dancing, craft, 8 ball pool, water aerobics, happy hour. Friday afternoon, water aerobics and happy hour. Saturday happy golf and comunity BBQ byo and happy hour. Sunday happy, golf, 8 ball pool, happy hour.
As you can tell there is a lot to do and you are kept busy, people also play bowls at the local RSM Club.
It is a fantastic place, very social and the people are all so nice.
Next door to us was a lovely couple Marnie and Gail and we have become good friends with these two. They live in Brisbane and we will spend some time with them when we are there.
29 December - the pool and happy hour, walked around the village and met our neighbours at happy hour.
30 December - We went into Casion with Marnie and Gail today and did some shopping, had a drink hotel near to the village and came back. Happy hour again.
31 December - Barrys birthday and New Years Eve, there were celebrations at the BBQ area which we went to and happy a fantastic night.
The rest of the say was fairly quiet with visits to the pool, rest, reading and happy hours.
WE ARE MOST DEFINATELY COMING BACK
