Two Easter Caravan Roll Overs in WA

The Easter weekend has already seen two caravan roll overs in WA's South West. William Baird age 66 has died and his wife, Maxine, was injured when their Toyoya Landcruiser rolled over on the South Coast Highway at Green Range.

After overtaking a truck, a failure with the caravan caused the vehicle to lose control and leave the road. The Toyota rolled onto its roof before it was crushed by the caravan.

There was another caravan rollover near Collie on the same day.

My heart goes out to the family and friends of Mr and Mrs Baird. PLEASE take the time to have your caravan checked and serviced, and PLEASE take the time to hitch properly before setting out.

Safe Easter Travels

New Rating system helps you choose quality caravan parks

Finding a caravan or holiday park that suits your needs when it comes to location and budget is important, but it's worth assessing a property's quality standards and customer service before you park the van or pitch the tent.
The Australian Government's T-QUAL Tick and the Caravan, RV & Accommodation Industry of Australia (CRVA)have joined forces to make that decision easier by identifying Australian caravan holiday parks that do more to ensure Australians have fun on holiday.
The CRVA National Accreditation Program symbolised by a green star with a gold tick logo, identifies the holiday park has been assessed by an industry representative checking for quality tourism business practices. Holiday parks accredited by CRVA can also display the T-QUAL Tick, giving you added confidence in your holiday park choice. It isn't just CRVA that meets the high standards of Australian travellers. More than 13,000 Australian tourism operators have earned the right to display the T-Qual Tick on their advertising and marketing material. So, when you're looking for the next place to set up camp, look for the businesses carrying the CRVA and T-Qual Ticks and know your high expectations will be met.
