108 - Mapleton - Sunshine Coast Hinterland

Well here we are, at the beautiful Mapleton, here on the Sunshine Coast Hinterland of Queensland.

The less said about our run down from Cairns the better. It was a shocker......constant teeming rain, potholes that swallow you up.....road cuts.......road works, and feeeeeeerking trucks. I assure you, we won't be doing the Bruce highway back north again in the foreseeable future.

For those who follow our blog, will know we earn a living on the road in thearea of relief or contract hospitality management....and right now we are Mapleton Cabins and Caravan Park. Have a look at the web site http://www.mapletoncabinscaravans.com.au/.

We as a rule concentrate our management around motels, however as the years are ticking by, we really are struggling with the 18 hour days, food and beverage, corporate clientele....over it!!!!!!!

We have been toying for a while of shifting away from that segment as above, and plying our skills to the tourist park arena. We have both come from a very strong holiday resort back ground, and want to go back into that area. So when this opportunity came up....yahoo!!!!!!!!

Sure it is totally different clientele than motels. In this side of the market you are dealing with holiday makers, and the travellers in their caravans of this world. But the principles are just the same.........easy!

We are not to sure how long we will be here. The owners of this establishment, may sell, but that's cool. This tour of duty will just add another string to our bow, and from this point forward can now apply to tourist parks.

Sorry folks no photies, however as above check out the web site.

Till next time, cheers and beers
