What to bring
Be prepared for all kinds of weather, as the Coorong can be changeable (four seasons in one day). Bring rain gear and rubber boots (just in case it will rain). The forecast for this week is a bit warm so it is better to pack comfortable clothing for warm days and maybe one clothing to keep you warm during the night, but the wind can be quite gusty and dusty, brimmed hats could blown away so make sure that the hat you have has a drawstring to tightened and fine netting to protect your face from flies and mosquitoes.
Essential Items are:
Lunchbox, sunscreen, sunglasses, toilet paper, chapstick and mosquito repellant. Bring your own plate, coffee mug, fork & spoon, sugary snacks in case you have low sugar issues, small torch, ace bandage and personal first aid kit. Swags are O.K., tents are recommended in case of rain, long shorts/appropriate beach thongs for kayak, hiking boots or other shoes that are suitable for bush walking. Don't forget to bring a clear plastic bag for your important gear i.e. camera just in case it will rain. Marshmallows could be shared around the campfire.
Make sure that you pack all your swag/tent gear, especially check that the pigs are in the bag. Otherwise you will experience the same scenario as I have that I had pack all my camp gears except the pigs for my tent.
We are looking forward of seeing you on Thursday the 15th of January 2009 at 'P' Building Mawson Lakes Campus. Otherwise pre- arranged pick up for our prospective guest will be available, in case travelling to Mawson Lakes Campus will be awkward. But you have to let us know ASAP.
