BIG4 Wye River Holiday Park will be hosting up to 12 of Australia’s best new caravans at a special event to award the title of ‘Best Aussie Van’ in 2016.
Held for the fourth-year running, the 2016 event will be held in partnership with Adventures, AL-KO, BIG4 Holiday Parks and Great Ocean Road Regional Tourism.
This week, community members in Wye River and Separation Creek will see the 12 vans travelling up and down – between Wye River and Apollo Bay – as the vans are put through their paces against various criteria to be named ‘Best Aussie Van’.
Community members are invited to see the vans at the Best Aussie Vans 2016 Showcase, presented by AL-KO, on Wednesday 12 October 2016 from 11am to 2pm. The free open day is being held at the intersection of Great Ocean Road and Moore Street on the Foreshore Reserve, next to the Apollo Bay Surf Life Saving Club.
The caravans are judged by Australia’s most experienced caravan journalists, and is a timely event to remind the public that the Great Ocean Road communities – particularly around Wye River – are open and keen for visitors.
CEO of BIG4 Holiday Parks Steven Wright said: “Having the ‘Best Aussie Vans’ event showcasing BIG4 Wye River, the beautiful Great Ocean Road and highlighting the modern aspects of caravanning is very timely and appropriate…especially given the need to remind people the Great Ocean Road is accessible and one of Australia’s great driving routes.”
A media event will also be held at the Wye River General Store on Wednesday evening.
