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.

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.
