Q. Is it safe to go solo camping?
A:It can be, as long as you're well prepared. Solo camping is a great way to unwind and connect with nature, but safety should always come first — especially in Australia. Do a bit of research on where you're going, let someone know your plans, and pack the right gear, including plenty of water and an emergency beacon if you're heading remote. And if you’re camping up north, keep an eye out for crocs and snakes — it’s their home too.
Q. What’s better – camping alone or with a group?
A:It really depends on what you’re after. If you enjoy your own space and a bit of solitude, solo camping is hard to beat — you’ve got total freedom and peace and quiet. On the other hand, camping with friends or family means shared laughs, easier setup, and having someone to help if things don’t go to plan. There’s no right answer just think about what kind of weekend you want.
Q. What kind of food should I pack for a camping trip?
A:Keep it simple — the last thing you want is a pile of dishes at the end of the day. Ready-to-eat meals are a game changer, especially when you’re tired after a long hike or sorting food for a group. Meals like ginger coconut chicken curry or slow-cooked beef are filling, easy to heat, and don’t take up much space. Whether you’re on your own or with a crew, having food sorted makes the trip way more enjoyable.
