📢 Attention RV and Caravan Travellers

Looking for the Tailem Bend RV Dump Point? 🚙

It has now moved to the 📍 Tailem Bend Football Club Grounds and can be accessed via Second Avenue.

The relocation makes the facility easier to access and more convenient for travellers already staying at the oval, while improving road safety for everyone.

Why the move?
✅ Easier access for RV and caravan users
✅ More convenient for visitors staying at the oval
✅ Improved safety by reducing the need to enter, exit or perform a U-turn across the Princes Highway

Getting There - From the former dump point location:
🧭 Travel west along the Princes Highway (towards the town centre)
➡ Turn right onto Granites Road
➡ Turn right onto Second Avenue
⬅ The dump point is located within the Tailem Bend Football Club grounds

Check out the map below for directions from the previous dump point location.

Safe travels and enjoy your stay in Tailem Bend! 🚐

It is with great sadness that the Tailem Info Station acknowledges the passing of Peter Squires OAM, a remarkable community member whose dedication to preserving history helped shape Tailem Bend into the destination we know today.

Peter was the visionary founder of Old Tailem Town Pioneer Village, Australia's largest pioneer village. Through decades of tireless work, he rescued and preserved more than 100 historic buildings and countless artefacts, creating a place where visitors could step back in time and experience the stories, lifestyles and achievements of earlier generations.

For over 40 years, Old Tailem Town has welcomed visitors from across Australia and around the world, becoming one of the Murray River Lakes and Coorong's most iconic tourism attractions and an important part of Tailem Bend's identity. Peter's passion for heritage conservation not only safeguarded South Australia's history but also inspired countless people to appreciate the value of preserving our past.

As custodians of our own local history within Tailem Bend's historic railway building, we recognise and deeply appreciate Peter's enormous contribution to heritage preservation, tourism and community education. His life's work has helped ensure that the stories of those who came before us will continue to be shared with future generations.

We extend our sincere condolences to Peter's family, friends and all those connected to Old Tailem Town. His legacy will live on through the attraction he created and the many lives he touched along the way.

Vale Peter Squires OAM. Thank you for preserving our history and helping put Tailem Bend on the map. ❤️
