National Parks camping: Camping can be great
  • Tip Rating:
  • For me, camping is one of my favorite accommodations. A great dome tent, self inflating air mattresses, thick fluffy sleepingbag and pillows, small metho cooking stove and picnic basket, and I feel almost the comfort of a motel (at much much less the price, and with much nicer surroundings!)

    Unique Qualities: Waking up and opening the tent and seeing the view out over a small lake, or the colourful desert sands of a northern camping spot.
    Being awakened at dawn by the calling of small birds and seeing tiny birds hopping around the tent as though nobody was there watching.
    Getting away from civilization, even for a few days, and seeing new sights and new views on awakening each morning.

     hi Kate, Your writing on Aboriginal Australia was beautiful and very interesting. This is part of Australia's heritage which is very under rated and not valued enough. Cultural sites run by Aboriginal people are wonderful to visit. Syl62
