Cania Gorge Tourist Retreat

One of our guests made this beautiful picture of our park during the Easter weekend. We were fully booked, but as you can see, it still was very spacious around the sites. It was our first Easter as the new owners of cania gorge tourist retreat and it was great to see so many people having a good time. Thanks for this beautiful picture!

just ready before Easter. 16 extra powered sites are ready to book. thanks to Barnett Plumbing and Monto Electrical Services we now have a total of 40 powered sites and still a very spacious park. Both businesses are also involved in our next project. All our cabins will become en suited with all modern facilities.

After the park was hit by a storm we knew exactly which trees needed to be cut down or pruned. After 2 long days of hard work we pruned 6 trees and cut 5 trees down.  All the trees where at the border of the park so they all could be dropped back in to the creek. It took a lot of work to get a big Blue back in the creek. It was behind the Koala cabins so we couldn’t make a mistake. With the expertice of Ray we managed. The park is getting ready for the busy winterseason and we are looking forward to it

Thank you Mike for putting this picture of the lorikeets at our park on Flickr. We do wonder what they are gossiping about. As you can see we can use your pictures to put on our own website. Every guest can sent pictures taken at the gorge and/or our park to us or Flickr so they might end up on our website !!!

the lake cania fishing comp is just 2 weekends away. i have it on good authority that the fish are biting well. the recent rain means the place is looking a treat. why not come up to the cania gorge tourist retreat for a great weekend of family fun?

We are proud to present our new website to you. With Dean (pigmoose productions) and Ross (aulles advertising), we’ve created a website that will give you all the information you need and can keep you up to date will all the news on our park. We hope you will enjoy it and if you have any suggestions, please let us know!!

On monday 12 February 2007 a storm hit the retreat. In half an hour we recorded 45 mm of rain. Hail and heavy wind caused some damage on the park. The old Moreton bay ash tree at the back of the park with the orchid and fig in it came down. Fortunately nobody was hurt and there was no damage done. The ranger told that he thinks the shape of the gorge is part of the reason it occurs.

last week we had some photographers visit the park. they were taking photo for a coffee table book to celebrate the 75th anniversary of the monto shire. This is the photo they took on the 2 storey cave walk.

On our park pets are welcome. Natuarlly because we are bordering the national park there are conditions for the pets. Keep them on a leash is one of them.

On the 17th and 18th of March the annual fishing competition in Monto is on again. Ring us to book your accommodation.
