We are lucky enough to live in a city where camping options are abundant in almost every direction. Camping is one of the best ways to get out and see what Australia really has to offer, and it has the benefit of being extremely cheap in the process. Camping can be uncomfortable if you aren’t well prepared, or you have the wrong gear. However, if you purchase quality camping gear you can be sure that your trips will be well remembered.
Ways to save money on your Camping Gear
Lately I’ve been inclined to shop online, or at least to check prices. It seems that as businesses increase their online presence prices are more competitive. I’ve also found that by looking at second hand camping gear you can save a bucket load of money. For example, I picked up an Oztent with all the extras for $1000 a few months ago that had been used twice. In the stores, even with a discount it would have been over $1700. Gumtree is a great place to start for second hand items.

It’s worth looking on eBay for good deals too, as even with freight (which can be expensive) you can get bargains. Best of luck with your shopping!
