Over the past year, NRMA Holiday Parks, in conjunction with the Starlight Children’s Foundation, has donated 100 holidays to Australian families with seriously ill children.
One of NRMA Holiday Park’s many community initiatives, the program offered 100 Starlight kids and their 147 siblings and 211 parents / carers a chance to escape from the medical routine of hospitals and doctors and enjoy some great family fun in a Holiday Park.
NRMA Holiday Parks received such positive feedback that they have extended the program and also their disability services; ensuring beach wheelchairs are now available for use at Treasure Island Holiday Park, Darlington Beach Holiday Park and Ocean Beach Holiday Park.
Starlight Escapes offer families a welcome break from the stressful routine of a child’s illness, through entertainment and holidays. Even the most simple of life’s pleasures, enjoyed regularly by other families such as spending quality time together, picnics and playing at the beach can make a big difference in lives of families with seriously ill children.
During their four-night stay, the families enjoyed all the Holiday Park facilities and attractions, with pools, jumping pillows and adventure playgrounds particular favourites with the kids. As well as a whole range of other great activities on offer not often found near hospital beds!
One of the recipients of a Holiday Park getaway, the Farley family had a wonderful time, their child commenting, “My favourite part of the Holiday Park was the mushroom pool and cool jumping pillow and it made me feel very happy”.
The Stackman family also enjoyed the break, saying, “My family’s favourite thing about the Holiday Park was for us to be…on a family holiday for the first time in many years and…having fun, enjoying ourselves and not worrying about the next hospital visit”.To read about other Starlight Foundation programs and stories and see how you can help, visit their website here.

23 September 2009When it comes to saying "I do", it seems increasing numbers of people are adding "and I'll have a holiday while I'm at it".
Accelerated by the financial crunch and the challenge of getting time off for a holiday – combined with the complications of modern families – destination weddings have become a huge business.
The editor of wedding website i-do.com.au, Victoria Van Brugge, says more than three-quarters of intending couples are using a civil celebrant rather than getting married in a church. And with the cost of a traditional wedding hitting the $40,000 to $50,000 mark, a destination wedding can become "an obvious choice".
Others are inviting guests but keeping the venue modest: the NRMA Darlington Beach Holiday Park has had a "sharp rise" in wedding bookings this year, with couples booking out multiple cabins and making their wedding a weekend with family and friends.
"Weddings are doubling as an excuse for family reunions," NRMA spokeswoman Lisa Kable says. "The brides to date have worn traditional white for the ceremony ... and then are cooking breakfast on the barbecue the next morning for their guests."
