29 March 2026. Henley Park, Edenhope, Victoria, Australia.

“We get return visitors every year booking the same spots at our caravan park. These visitors come from afar and meet up with their new friends they made at a previous Day of the Dackel. It’s so awesome to see, …most people who come had never been to Edenhope let alone heard of it…” before coming to a Day of the Dackel event.
