I used to visit in the late 60s and 70s. We would camp with huge green tents, setting them up alongside friends and family. Back then, Tabourie wasn't well-known. We fished in the lake and swam at both the beach and the lake. We even went abalone diving at another beach. There were no homes, just a huge sand dune that we would slide down into the lake. On the island, we watched the little fairy penguins. Nowadays, I don't think I would go there because it has become so popular. I believe this place now caters to a different generation. We didn't have pools, jumping attractions, or water parks. On Sundays, a group we called the Mickey Mouse church would have someone dressed as Mickey walk around the campsite, gathering kids for Sunday school, giving parents a break for most of the day. We were very happy little vegemites. These are my cherished memories of Lake Tabourie. Enjoy your own memories.
