LANE COVE RIVER TOURIST PARK
On Sunday, 23rd August 2009 we were honoured to have Carmel Tebbutt, the acting Premier of NSW, officially open our new solar panel array.
It was great to see Sally Barnes, the deputy director of National Parks & Wildlife NSW, here to support our newest environmental initiative as well.
The solar panel grid is capable of supplying energy to approximately 11 family cabins (of 23) & any surplus power generated will be fed back into the national electricity grid.
The whole area around the solar power station has been extensively landscaped including a water feature & solar garden lighting that are run entirely by the power generated from the station.
A special thanks to Dean, one of our field officers, for designing & constructing the water feature. A fantasic job Dean!
Many thanks to Robbie & Tom for all the help they gave Dean as well.
The new solar power grid here at the park is a continuation of our already extensive rollout of evironmental initiatives initiated by our manager, Andrew Daff.
There is an extensive library of photos ranging from the construction stage, right through to how it looks now, available on our photos & iimages page.
Next time you visit us make sure you check out the area. With the birds singing & the sound of the water in the background it's a great place to sit & take in the ambience of the park.
Hope to see you soon.

Lane Cove River Tourist Park
is located in a National Park only 10kms from the city area of Sydney in Australia. We are unique in our location & we actively promote the practice of Eco-Tourism, sustainability & educating local business operators & guests in all aspects of these practices.We are carbon neutral and as such we set a shining example to all other tourist operators & our guests. We operate under the belief that for people to change how they interact with the environment they need to have an alternative that effects their way of life as little as possible. We achieve that through subtle education using our environmental initiatives that are highly visible throughout our grounds. We are proof that changing how people think & live is possible. It also makes economic sense. We have been able to follow through on our best practice initiatives at a very low overall cost.
The end result of our efforts is that when people finish their holiday with us they will have at least some of our initiatives imbedded in their own minds.
If we can change people's habits even by only a fraction we are helping make this world a better place.
Hi Everyone.
Last week I took photos & videos of a great little fella called a Ring Tailed Possum. She was just outside the office and was happy to feed on the tree while I spent some time getting some great shots.
This is actually a bit unusual because they're shy creatures most of the time.
This link will take you to our You Tube home page where you can see them all of our videos grouped together.
Or this link will take you directly to the newest video of our friendly Ring Tailed Possum.
Enjoy!

Hi. Woke up this morning to a beautiful sunny day here at the Tourist Park. Very mild temperature for this time of year!
I'm sitting outside as I write this, no jumper on for the first time for a while. The sun is actually quite hot.
The weekend has been quiet so far but I also know that it only takes a day or so of warmer weather and everyone who has been hibernating starts moving around again.
So get out your camping gear, check you have all your bits and pieces and start making plans for weekends away.
If you haven't been here to camp check out the rest of the website and give us a call if you have any questions. You'll always be welcome!
Enjoy the weather and everything Sydney has to offer.
