Big4 Holiday Park: The Perfect Host
The Big4 Holiday Park in Caloundra is the perfect host for this fabulous event. Not only is it located in one of the most beautiful spots on the Sunshine Coast, but it also boasts some incredible facilities. The park has recently installed a stunning pool with infinity views over the Pumicestone Passage. This isn’t just any pool—it’s got epic water slides that even the biggest of kids will enjoy.
In addition to the pool, the Big4 Holiday Park has launched Australia’s first purpose-built accessible camp kitchen on the East Coast. This groundbreaking facility ensures that all guests, regardless of mobility, can enjoy a comfortable and inclusive holiday. And if that wasn’t enough, the park has also opened its own restaurant, Tripcony Traders Restaurant & Bar, which has quickly become the hottest spot in town. Overlooking the pool and the Passage, it’s the perfect place to relax and take in the views.
