Popular caravan YouTubers ordered to pay more than $1 million for 'misleading representations'

[Fizzie]

Was about to mention that!

The moral of this story is Be very careful what you say (especially if you're out to get Youtube likes!) 

(Although they've probably already made that money back by now by posting the story there & getting even more hits!)

They are going to need a lot more YouTube hits to cover it, a million views will earn you between 5 to 10 thousand dollars according to Google.

I think some of these "influencers" get a bit carried away with their own importance   Being a court order it's no good hiding, the sheriffs will be looking at every single item they own and in whose name it's in in their home state untill it's paid.

I think they will declare themselves bankrupt and never pay a cent.

I think they will declare themselves bankrupt and never pay a cent.

Bankruptcy laws and the reasons for it are very complex they may still have to make all/some payments anyway , personally I think they are in a precarious situation because they ignored their notifications, ignored the court date, and broke their agreement with the claimant , all of which will go against them, and they probably know this by now.

They have a building company that they own and YouTube is not their main source of income.

Not quite News as such, but just had this come through:


"Closure Notice: Bungle Bungle Caravan Park 2026 Season

Dear Guest

Due to unforeseen economic impacts to our business, we have made the difficult decision to close Bungle Bungle Caravan Park for the remainder of the 2026 season.

The park will officially close on 1 June 2026, with our final tour departing on 15 May 2026.

We are no longer accepting new bookings.

All existing bookings beyond 1 June will receive a full refund.

We sincerely apologise for the disruption this may cause and thank you for your understanding.

We wish you all the very best for a wonderful Kimberley experience and sincerely hope to welcome you again in the future."

You have to wonder how many small parks like this are actually going to make it  

[Harbourmaster]

IS THAT THE ONE JUST IN THE ENTRANCE. I GUESS THE NATIONAL PARK FURTHER IN IS STILL OPERATING ?

[Fizzie]

Yep, that's the Park just off the Hwy.

& yes, the BB Nat Park is still open to visitors of you want to drive yourself in there, but they're not running their bus tour.
