Have a $1500 credit to a camping store

Was offered a gift voucher instead of a full refund so now trying to think of some must have big ticket items that we don’t already have?

For reference, we already have a great tent, air gazebo, esky, so am thinking maybe a power station might a good purchase?

Hit me up with your exy must haves so I can put my voucher to good use!

TIA

I have an important question for Aussies who like to go camping at popular campsites

You have ordered a pizza to be delivered to the campsite, you have decided to play a prank on the pizza delivery man. What will the prank be?

I have come up with a few ideas over the years such as

  1. Get a friend to hide behind the bushes and while the delivery man is talking to me the friend jumps out and steals delivery man’s car

  2. Pick pocket his wallet and pay for the pizza using his money, then hand his wallet back to him as he’s about to drive off saying it fell on the ground

  3. Fart in his face

  4. Switch the speed limit signs to 20 kilometres higher on the route between the pizza place and the campsite and hope that he gets fined

  5. Get a group of 6 people, pick him up and throw him into the cold lake

  6. Get a friend to climb up the roof of your car and ask the delivery man to park next to the car, when the delivery man parks his car the friend jumps off the roof onto his car

Safety netting for toddler recommendations

Hi everyone, we have rented a caravan and when we are travelling our little boy will be 18MO.

I was hoping someone has some suggestions for solutions for our bed set up.

We would like some sort of netting to cover over bottom bunk but it needs to be temporary and can’t damage the caravan at all because it is a rental. I have seen the guard railing but want something that covers the whole entrance. I have attached a picture for reference. TIA :)

Water carriage and filtration

Hey guys,

What kind of water carriage solutions are people using? We are mainly camping as a family.

Is anyone filtering their drinking water while away? Have you found any good solutions for this?

New SI mattress question

Hi guys, picked up this new XTM mighty mat queen size. It's been left open for 2ish days now to inflate and there are still dead spots in the mattress, which you can kind of see in the photo. Is that expected? Anything I can do about it? Cheers.

I haven't ever used a SI mattress so not sure what the go is/what is standard.

Heads Up - Big Fines at Peregian Beach

We just got a $345 fine for parking overnight in our van at peregian beach. No area is safe. Peregian is part of Noosa and council rangers are patrolling all areas, parking lots, side streets and beach areas late at night. Woke us up and issued a $345 fine!!

Looking for a solo camping recommendation near Melbourne

Hey guys,

I’m looking to do some solo camping this weekend and would love some recommendations.

Ideally looking for somewhere:
-Within ~1–2 hours of Melbourne
-Has toilets/facilities
-Usually has other campers around (I’d rather not be completely isolated)
-Safe and suitable for someone camping solo
*Bonus if it’s somewhere scenic or has a nice walk/hike nearby

I’m fairly new to solo camping, so any recommendations or tips would be appreciated. Thanks!
