“I am writing to inform you of the welcome and support we received from Greg and Kaz Dowes, the caretakers at Goomalling Caravan Park, Goomalling. Greg and Kaz showed us hospitality and their caring for the amenities is a credit to them and the shire. This is a wonderful small caravan park with trees, flowers and only a five minute walk to the town centre. Natural parks are an important part of what makes a small town appealing. I had an opportunity to visit the Men’s Shed on the Wednesday morning and boy wasn’t that interesting. These retirees, farmers and towns folks alike told me about the projects they are doing for the town and the different talks they have with guys about personal problems. They just want somebody to listen and there is every possibility these guys from the Men’s Shed have had the same experiences. I would like to thank Hans and his troops for welcoming me into their workshop. I would imagine the community has shown tremendous support and a willingness to contribute. What stood out to us was the way the shire is protecting the environment, healthy living, community engagement and it also fits in with the appreciation of natural beauty and outdoor recreation that is part of your identity. This is what really attracts visitors and RV’s travelers to a small town like Goomalling. I see this as an important choice for your community. Please accept our appreciation for maintaining an excellent facility and I am sure we will stop again to enjoy Greg and Kaz Dowes’ hospitality. Yours in Caravanning, Michael & Valerie Piper, Queensland”
