🌿The area we do a lot of the activities is right next to where you will park your car, so if you want to camp in or next to your car - it's easy as.

🌿It's worth noting that this is in a fairly remote area where there is no electricity, no amenities (pit toilets) and very limited phone reception. It would be worth making arrangements to let friends and family know that you may not be contactable for the duration of the course.  Telstra & Optus are ok, Vodafone not so much.
