Isn't twin lakes caravan park the best name?
It sounds like it should feature in a seedy c-grade movie.

When I got word on the twin lakes being abandoned I wrote it down on my to-do-list for Ben and I to explore when he returned from work. When we finally managed to visit, it was already being torn down except for some of the animal statues out front :( I must point out that despite asking/convincing/pleading if we could perhaps put one of the animals in the car, I was met back with solid reasoning about the logics of doing so :p Something about them being really heavy or something or other!
I still think we should of tried because when I was back in Gympie a few weeks later, there were no animals left :(
Utter tragedy!
These photos were all taken using my Canon 1000F and 800 lomo film for those playing along at home
oh, wow, I love abandoned stuff. great pics!!
ReplyDeleteI only wish the chalets were still there I imagine that would have been incredible to explore!
DeleteAbandoned motels are the creepiest. And I love all the decaying animal statues. So cool and spooky.
ReplyDeletethey definitely rate high on the creepy factor!!
Deletethis place would've been neat to do a photo shoot of some sort! :) i think i would've asked to put one of the animals in the car too :)
ReplyDeleteA photoshoot would have been awesome - models in safari suits! I don't think I even got a photo with me, we were pretty quick because there were tractors going past and I suddenly got a bit self conscious - happens to me quite a bit when taking photos :P
DeleteI was going to say: Twin Lakes Caravan Park totally sounds like a b grade horror movie!! Hehe. The animals sure look creepy enough!
ReplyDeleteI'm so gutted I didn't get the chance to peer inside the park before it was demolished but then sometimes the imagined view is way cooler than reality :P
Deletei would love to visit this kind of place...here we have only abandoned parts of the city...In the country it is impossible to find something like this!
ReplyDeleteI follow a page on facebook where a lady visits abandoned spots but I always wonder how she finds them all, I guess you've got to keep your eyes open - it's hard though if the odds are against you in your area, or in the country. City abandoned spots are cool though too - probably harder to get into though!!
DeleteThe torned animals look very creepy (specially the rhino) but in an awesome way! And that sign of the hotel looks really promising, I would love to see you in front of it, but I totally get what do you reply about getting self conscious :)
ReplyDeleteI never usually think to say to Ben either - 'Hey take my photo' lol I'll try and get in the habit because sometimes it is a little sad having not much record of me in my photo albums. I've got the opposite problem to the selfies one (although I really don't mind people taking selfies at all and I often wonder why people make fun of those who do!)
