Article Overview - What to Take
In this article, we discuss how to work out what you need to take on your trip. Includes a checklist of items for bush camping in remote areas and also a check list of personal items to suit any trip. View Full Article...

Hi,

We are planning to travel around Oz around July for 6 months. I have searched high and wide for a guide or advice regarding check lists for gear to include, but to no avail. Can anyone out there supply me with a basic list or point me to any publications. We will be travelling with a 4wd/roof rack/camper trailer, and realise that there are big variants depending on trip length, family size etc, but would be happy to have a basic guide, so I get a feeling for what is best and worst to include in my carrying capacity.

Cheers CeeJ

My tip is first take a 2 or 3 day 'trip' to the local caravan park with what you think you need and are advised to take..

Then you can safely leave at home what you don't use or believe you can do with-out.

Keep weight and 'useless stuff' to a minium and you will have a gr8 time.

Willem, my immediate thought was he needs to check out your rig. Most comprehensive itemised inventory I have ever seen. Give us notice if you ever have a garage sale hahaha...:-))

Pack your clothes and then chuck half of them back in the house. And this is advice from a women who once carried a pair of high heels around Australia for 12 months without using them. You aren't in the same place long so same clothes day after day doesn't matter. Have a great trip. Christine.

Haven't actually done an extended trip, but short trips of three to four weeks have taught me a lot. Get your wife to pack/make a list & then discard 75% of it and you will be close to the money.

But if you have done a few 3 to 4 week trips you usualy establish what you took to be surplus & what you wish you had taken. Good luck & happy travelling

Thanks everybody for links and advice. We have actually done heaps of camping and long haul trips with trailer etc, but this coming trip is like nothing before. Your advice will help with what we have learnt from previous shorter trips.

Tchuse !
