Celebrating Easter at Rawson is an opportunity for people who want to make friends, share the real meaning of Easter and relax in some of Gippsland’s beautiful bushland. It is particularly aimed at families, having exciting outdoor activities for young people (such as billy cart derby, 4WD or Hummer off-road rides). In addition there are creative workshops (such as photography, story-writing, dog owner-training) and inspiring speakers and music (featuring Dave & Rosanna Palmer). So there’s something for everyone and suitable for all ages. There is a movie night, a bonfire night, a walk of the cross and time to get to know others and experience a sense of community.
This annual event is at Mountain Rivers Tourist Park where camping, cabin or motel accommodation is available Thursday to Monday. Organised activities are on Good Friday to Easter Sunday. Day visitors are welcome also, particularly for the Family Fun Day on Saturday. This location is close to Walhalla historic township and only two hours from Melbourne’s east. It is facilitated by author and pastor, Sylvia Fraser and an inter-denominational committee of helpers. It is inspired by the late Andrea Camier, for whom there will be a memorial dedication on the Sunday afternoon.
Registration pricing includes accommodation and meals. Day Passes and Youth Passes are available as well.
