Churchill Caravan Park in Churchill Victoria

Churchill is a town in the Latrobe Valley, located in central Gippsland in the east of Victoria, Australia. The town had a population of 4,588 at the 2006 census, and is part of the Latrobe City local government area. The town was named in honour of former British leader Sir Winston Churchill.

Churchill has one defining and quite unique landmark, that being a huge replica of Winston Churchill’s cigar (known locally as “the big cigar”). Originally it was anticipated that five of these would be built around points of the town centre’s edge, but only one was actually ever built. The Binishell was also a prominent feature visible from much of the eastern side of town, this has since been pulled down.

Near the base of the cigar is a commemorative brick wall built by the Rotary Club of Hazelwood. It gives the names of the first families to move into the town.

Moriac Caravan Park in Moriac Victoria

Moriac is a rural town in Victoria, Australia, located approximately 25 kilometres (16 mi) west of Geelong. It forms part of the Surf Coast Shire. At the 2006 census, Moriac had a population of 594.

The town was surveyed in the 1920s as a village based around the Moriac station on the Port Fairy line, which had been founded to serve the adjacent community of Mount Moriac. The railway had opened in 1876, followed by the Wensleydale branch line which left the main line here, which opened in 1890 and closed in 1948. The Post Office had opened on 1 August 1854 as Duneed, and was renamed Mount Moriac in 1864 and Moriac around 1909.

The town was initially slow to develop, but survived the closure of the railway line and grew to house a population of several hundred. Though still heavily rural in nature, the town now largely serves as a satellite village of Geelong, with many residents commuting into the city to work.

The town is home to Moriac Primary School, which has approximately 200 students, a pub, one shop. Also has a petting zoo.

Dalpura Farm has been doing very good work in forestry permaculture.
