At CRU Galston Gorge, we want to make our campsite as eco-friendly as possible. Water usage is carefully managed using a state of the art on-site water treatment facility and the recycled water is used to irrigate our ovals and gardens. Approximately 3,000,000 litres of waste water is recycled each year. We’ve also recently installed 100KW solar panels, and in the first year, we generated enough power to make 1,924,650 pieces of toast! To complement the solar panels, we have also upgraded our lighting to more energy-efficient LED technology.
