Hi Rex,
Spot on. You don’t need to take much and the best part is when you get home and it only takes a short time to pack it all away!

I have never been hiker camping, but am constantly amazed at how little you need to survive. Now to convince the missus that we can leave behind some gear on our next camping trip and still survive!

Ah Bruce,
What a story! Six weeks in Colac equates to a bloody long , long time! You will be happy to know the road is pretty clear now, saw a Unimog type thing in there last time. Must have been 4.5 metres high! (had arrived in BB via Africa…..)

Ahh, Blanket Bay. The name brings back 25yo memories of our first few nights camping at the beginning of our ’round Oz 4wd trip. I’ve not been back since but it was a lovely spot then. Except for the road out. After 2 blissful nights at Blanket Bay, and the last ever ride on my new 6’1″ twin fin, we set off in our somewhat overloaded Hilux only to come asunder several k’s up the road. We spent the next 6 weeks as tennants of the Colac Caravan Park waiting for our vehicle to have its roof restored to its original height. Not the ideal way to start a 6 month trip of a lifetime. Nevertheless we eventually continued – sort of – but Blanket Bay will always remain a fond memory for me.
