        For just me? 23Zero swag and Oztrail Gazebo with a couple of removable walls. Been pretty good so far, but I just added a swag stretcher to a cart for next time. Tidal river ground is hard as a rock.

        When I bring the family? Oztrail Fastframe lumos 6p. I love it, but it really isn’t good in strong wind. When the family is old enough I’ll either step up to a Campervan, or a proper canvas tent.

        How about you? Half the reason I go camping is to check out other peoples setups.

          We bought a second hand cub trailer last year, fold out with the hard floor. Taken it a few times now, and still working out some kinks. Having a power option is brilliant, we took a small toaster and air fryer with us when we camped in the Otways. Having roast chicken for dinner whilst camping was amazing. Going this weekend or to Yarra Junction for a couple of nights. Weather is looking pretty good.

            Oh nice! Is that the Doon Reserve place? I’ve had that on my list for a while to check out. What did one of those Cubs set you back if you don’t mind me asking? They all seemed pretty expensive last time I looked for anything even slightly modern. My Kia can tow up to 1.9k kg, but only tolerates 100kg on the towball so my options are a bit limited.

              Little community camp place, camp Eureka. Our cub is a 2014. We paid $10k for it after some bargaining. It’s in perfect nick. 90kg ball weight. Still working it out, but it’s great.
