Mukinbudin Caravan Park – October 2018 It’s been a bit slow on the caravan side of things as the wildflower season has come to an end. We have met some people who used to visit other caravan parks in the Wheatbelt but are now opting to come here which is great for Muka. The self-contained units and barracks are still very popular with visitors and workers who appreciate being able to use the campers kitchen to prepare their own meals. We have many return visitors, bring their families and friends. They love the facilities at the Caravan Park and being close to the Pool is great on the hot days we are having. It’s also great to see when a maintenance issue comes along Office and Works staff are quick off the mark to get them done. It’s a great feeling knowing that so many people care for the Shire of Mukinbudin and we are happy to be a part of that.
