Protecting the environment
Remote areas and National Parks are sensitive areas and all precautions should be taken not to damage tracks, interfere
with flora and fauna and not to contaminate the area. In sensitive areas it is advisable to use grey water tanks and
contained toilets. If your camper or caravan isn’t fitted with such, both toilets and grey water tanks are available as
portable self-contained units. Always store food, food scraps and rubbish in secure containers, native animals can be
quite resourceful in scavenging for scraps. Dingos have been known to open locked eskies to get to food so don’t chance
it, always secure these items when travelling.
Trip Planning
* When planning remote trips always consider where you will resupply for fuel, food and water. Some remote fuel
stations may run out of fuel during busy periods or times when large fuel trucks are unable to access the area due to
road conditions and closures or simply close outside of the season. Always check conditions and availability of fuel before
setting out to remote areas.
Shire Councils
There are many resources available for planning your trip away. Every state has a tourism website as so regional councils
which will give you extensive information on camping sites, things to do and see, events happening in the area and
contact information for booking sites or activities.
National Parks
Each state’s national parks organisation have a website to assist in finding campsites and provide specific information
about each parks unique qualities. As a planning resource these are extremely good. All contact information will be
available.
Wikicamps
This smartphone app is an excellent resource for finding all kinds of camping across Australia. If you are looking for free
camping you won’t find a better resource. There is an app add on that even assists in finding fuel stops with user updates
on fuel prices.
Facebook
These days there are numerous Facebook groups dedicated to travelling with campers and caravans and also groups
dedicated to travel in specific areas. The area specific groups have many locals as members and are a great way to find
out local track closures, conditions and research the area in general.
