Whilst it is tempting to just write " Caribbean Gardens " I am compelled to tell you the truth ..... there are no cable parks in Victoria ( I only know of two in Oz Cairns and Bli Bli sunshine coast )

I know there are no cable parks in Vic as this issue was briefly raised here on seabreeze a few years ago.....and I was the moron who thought...... yeah I have seen the wakeboarding there ( Caribbean Gardens ) so now there is a cable park.....? and proceeded with a carload of mates to head there all salivating in anticipation only to be greeted by thousands of nerds at a computer swap meet. With no cable park to speak of......

Ouch, lucky i google mapped it, couldn't find a lake anywhere near it, thanks for the heads up. oh well, might have to buy one of those portable cables.

100% there is a lake there ( I have watched a KGB Wakeboarding event there ) and the place would be perfect for a cable park.......just no cable there

I've heard there is currently a proposal in the works to build a park near Melbourne. I'm seeing a mate who knows some details on the weekend, I'll see if he can fill me in.

oh right you are, there is a lake, its just about the same colour as the fields around it!
Dane, do tell, find out what area are they building it and how soon it will be open?
Can't wait!

u guys......looks like harry potter wants the cable park all to himself. YES THERE IS a cable park around the back of carrabeen gardens. Its not world class, but its enough to get a little fun fix. They only hve one basic kicker which is kinda fun height, and the 2 sliders, hopefully a funbox later in the year will be going in the year if the numbers strart to pick up. Only trouble is its only open 10-5 sat and sunday.

And there is also a cable park in penrith too. Allot further to drive, but much broader hours. Looks like people are trying to keep these places on a down low to keep them all for themselves...

As more people become interested and go to these cable parks it's only a matter of time before they open other ponds and new parks open. Basically the more people who go, the better the parks get..

its not a full on cable park, but a sesitech system. still pulls a treat, and makes kickers even more fun, and its allot easier to get the hang of sliders to there i found compared to cable.
