Well, you need to understand that going to the toilet when camping rough in outback Australia is pretty hard for a bloke who likes to sit and contemplate life in general and the world at large.
There’s not a tree in sight to the horizon but privacy isn’t an issue with nobody around to hide from [...]

Well, yes, I arrived at Lake Richardson about an hour before dark after shopping for fresh veggies at Woomera. Ya gotta eat well!
Sure enough I found the area I wanted to camp, pretty much as I’d seen it on Google earth. I’m camped on a rough track about 200 metres off the station road that [...]

On this occasion, camping at Point Hicks in Croajingalong National Park in Victoria’s East Gippsland, I had my small caravan. Ah, fridge, gas stove, comfy bed, out of the weather; the comforts of home, almost!
