They call it the Camper's Bible and we could not agree more!  On our trip we definitely called it our Camping Bible.  Although back then it was the Camps 5 edition! Everyone we met had a copy and it was an essential part of our trip planning.

You simply cannot beat sitting around a campfire with fellow campers, going through the book, making notes and swapping stories on places you have been and recommending spots to each other.  Personally I prefer to do this than sit on my mobile device.  (Although of course they do have an App too!)

You can choose from the Easy to Read Camps 10 edition with Camps photos - helps to give you more of an idea of where you might be staying - with larger maps OR the popular A4 Camps 10 without photos. PLUS if you also stay in Caravan Parks, you can buy a CAMPS 10 and the Caravan Parks 5 and save with a Travel Pack.

• 100% researched and updated
• Family owned and operated 
• Fast, free shipping Australia wide
• Not just a guide to camping spots
• Easy to use and comprehensive guide
• Long list of site facilities
• GPS coordinates and site access details have been expanded
• Sites overlaid onto HEMA maps

We recommend you click here to find out more and work out what 'Bible' suits you best AND get your 15% discount all in one fail swoop OR if you know exactly what you want head to their website and pop in the discount code CAWAFTAWK.

Now here is something we think many of you can benefit from. 

Looking for a reliable way to keep your devices powered up, even during a blackout? Meet ECOFLOW solar generators! These handy gadgets soak up sunlight and turn it into clean energy, so you can keep your family connected no matter what.

Don’t worry about needing direct sunlight; these generators can still work their magic on cloudy days! When choosing one, aim for a generator with double the wattage you think you’ll need—better safe than sorry!

Not only do solar generators save you money on utility bills, but they also help you shrink your carbon footprint. With no CO2 emissions, you can feel good about your eco-friendly choice.

So, whether you're going off-grid, traveling to remote spots, or just want peace of mind during power outages, our solar generators have you covered. Go green, stay connected, and enjoy the sunshine! 🌿💡

Ready to make the switch? Grab your ECOFLOW solar generator today!

How about this for an innovated idea!!  AND it could save travelling families heaps on the road as you swap your way around Australia!!  Now there's a win win concept. 🖤

It is a booking webapp so you can all stay on each other's property while travelling for free!!! And it’s just launched, open and ready for you to join up now.  Obviously you keep your van somewhere, so you might have space available next to it OR when you are out and about using your van, the space could be available for another family!

This is the idea of a fellow TAWKer and their solution to a lack of free camps in some areas by using your own resources you can help each other travel longer! 😍

Now, you do need to nominate a property to share with others and it needs to be large enough for a caravan set up and safe for a family to stay, with some privacy. You have total control of who stays at your property and you have direct contact with each member. Plus there is the a review system and strict rules in place to make it run smoothly for all like minded campers 

Basically, creating a community of like minded hard working Aussies who are ready to change the way we travel, all working towards this goal to make travel more affordable.

They already have some amazing properties already listed, in highly sought after holiday destinations, and their goal is to cover every area in Australia.

They are offering free membership while it builds for 6 whole months!!

I am sure you can see how this could really work and if you would like more information - everything you need to know is on their website - click here and find out all you need to know.

My oh MY!!  This is one product that I so so soooo wish was around back in 2010 when we did our trip around Australia! I could just not get the hang of the whole snorkel tube, blocked nose and mask coordination and frankly did not enjoy the snorkelling on the Ningaloo and Great Barrier reefs, which should have been the experience of a life time!  The Ninja Shark full faced masks would have changed that for me. You can check out my experience in detail here.

Andrew and Allizee from Ninja Shark realised this was a difficulty for many people and so embarked on a journey to ensure that breathing and experiencing the world underwater would be as easy and stress free as possible.  Not only for nervous Nellies' like me BUT how easy is this for the kids too! Ohhh this is one must take item on your trip around Australia! So easy for the kids to use and again more relaxing for us parents!

Luckily for us; Ninja Shark are now TAWKer Supporters and so you guys get a 10% discount!  Use the code TAWK10 at checkout on the Ninja Shark website and save.  Support this Aussie owned and run business as they support you.

What a great idea! Ride with Us is a local, family-owned business providing bike hire in the Great Ocean Road area. If your family loves to bike ride, but were unable to bring them on your trip, then this is for you and being a TAWKer Supporter, get 10% off the whole family’s bike hire.

Enter TAWK10 in their online booking system.

Hire your bicycles from Ride With Us in Port Campbell, Timboon or Cobden in Victoria and make your way along one of two recreational bicycle trails. They really have thought about the whole family with a range of ebikes, mountain bikes, children’s bikes and toddler carriers and they are pet friendly too!

Trail 1: Ride the quiet Camperdown to Timboon Rail Trail on Ride With Us bikes, and discover the tall forest, historic bridges and open farmland. This rail trail is a hidden gem in the Great Ocean Road region.

Trail 2: The 12 Apostles Trail is a 20km bicycle path which takes you from Port Campbell to Timboon and connects with the Camperdown to Timboon Rail Trail. A brand new scenic bicycle trail which meanders through farmland in Timboon to the coast on the Great Ocean Road at Port Campbell.

Both trails are recreational trails which makes them ideal for a family bike ride.

So when travelling along the Great Ocean Road, or driving interstate between Melbourne and Adelaide, ditch the car and get out there in the fresh air with your family and support Ride with Us as they support you.

Ride With Us also have bike transport and taxi service with baby car seats and booster seats available on request.
