"Rough camping" Oodnadatta Hotel Tip by tiabunna

When we were travelling around the country doing the Census (see ‘Off the Beaten Path’ tips), accommodation consisted of camping in the bush. It was simply a matter of deciding that an area of ground was clear enough to be able to safely light a fire and not too rocky to sleep upon. Then, just gather some wood, light a fire, boil the billy and cook up some tucker. Once it’s dark, settle back in your swag and look up at the best view of the universe you will find anywhere in the world: five star hotels can’t compete with that kind of view!

Of course, you need to take everything with you – including water. And don’t forget to clean up any rubbish afterward. In the photo we’re breaking camp next morning – as can be seen by the remains of the campfire.
