This is the same park where the killer of Daniel Morcombe was living.
Ironically, it is almost directly opposite the Keswick Centre (Camp Wattle Grove) the Christian Caravan Park several GN's have stayed at (google Camp Wattle Grove for more info on that park).

Latest News is a love triangle was behind the fatal stabbing at this park, see;
The park has new managers that have only been there for 18 months according to the article. The last time I was in the park was many years ago when some relatives stayed there it was really run down then and overgrown with weeds etc and it has certainly improved 100% from the photo's and visually looks it has been developed into quite a nice park despite the recent incident.

I don't mean to make light of the death of the poor victim, but I'd really like to see this stupid euphemism put to rest by the media.
Who exactly are these "two people"? Sherlock Holmes and Watson? Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot? Two psychics?
If they're suspects, then why would they be "assisting" the police?

I know what you mean Dorian, but I think it has something to do with legal reasons .
A 33 year old man has now been charged over the attack, see;

This is how the ABC reported the story:
"Police have traced a 2003 champagne-coloured Holden Commodore, which was spotted leaving the area shortly after the incident, on Mazzini Street in East Victoria Park after a tip-off from a member of the public.
The occupants of the car are being questioned by detectives."
We stayed there for 2 weeks over Christmas, yes the park is looked after, the caretakers are lovely people, the town is a nice town, good place to stay, sorry for the caretakers for this to happen to them.

Thanks for the feedback Wandwill, good to get a recent update on the park, their prices are certainly good considering the proximity to Perth and the Airport.
I see they give discounts for both powered and unpowered sites for solo's too, not many do that, see;
A man was stabbed to death at Crystal Brook Caravan Park, Orange Grove, last night and two people are assisting police with their enquiries;
