Last year, they carried out 33
searches for lost people. This is
a huge cost to the WA

TOP 5 TIPS TO
PLAN A HOLIDAY
WITH KIDS

outdoors and dark to eliminate
their fears before you go.
Create memories with a
camera and journals.
Plan alternative activities
for bad weather and to avoid

For camping families, scavenger
hunts provide opportunities for
active fun and learning.
Ô Have kids search for common
outdoor objects that won’t be
frustrating to find. Split up the
adults in the party, and assign
each one to a small group of
kids. Their job will be to provide
guidance, give a hint or two, and
to keep watch over them.
Ô A little friendly competition is
helpful. Incorporate a small prize
for the group that can find the
most items on the list.
Ô Use a disposal camera to take
pictures of the items on the
list. This is a great way to keep
memories in a photo journal.

Get them outside
V
IDEO games, social
media and YouTube –
these are increasingly
the preferred pastimes
of our children instead of playing
outdoors.
The long-term impacts of this
change in the nature of childhood
are not yet fully understood.
But one thing is certain – we
are facing a bigger issue than the
“square eyes” our parents warned
us about.
There is a correlation between
the decrease in unstructured
outdoor play and increasing rates
of childhood obesity, childhood
depression, medical prolbems and
a greater general disconnection
from the outside world. We need
to understand the importance of
nature play or outdoor unstructured play to the development of
children’s imaginations and social
intelligence and their decision
making, conflict resolution and
risk assessment abilities.
Put simply, we need to get our
kids outside terrorising critters,
climbing trees, negotiating the
rules of a game with other kids
and letting themselves, and their
imaginations, run rampant.
Unstructured outdoor play is
the birthright of all children, but
we are now facing a situation
where it has become necessary
to develop special programs to
Kampers
Mob: 0409 725 620
Site: 604
www.westcoastcampers.com.au
actively engage families in this
style of play.
These include initiatives
developed by Nature Play WA,
such as the Passport to an
Amazing Childhood program,
Family Nature Clubs and Active
School Diaries.
These have been developed over
the past three years to help drive
awareness and provide simple
opportunities for children to
interact with the natural world.
These days, it seems the only
time families actively engage in
these activities is when they are
on holidays away from the home.
Nature Play WA is an unapologetic proponent of time spent
Karavan
outside engaged in nature.
National parks, caravan parks
and camping grounds are the
gold standard but we don’t mind
if you are pitching the tent in the
backyard or getting the swags
out on the back lawn.
Get them outside – they
definitely need it and you
probably don’t realise how much
you do, too.

Luc Longley, former professional
basketballer and NaturePlay
ambassador, with daughter Lily,
enjoy getting out in the bush.
Luc still a bush boy
H
E is one of Australia’s
greatest sporting
success stories and one
of a very small number
of people on the planet in possession of three NBA championship
rings.
For Luc Longley, that success
is due largely to a childhood
that was spent outdoors either
roaming around Fremantle with
his brothers or camping along the
Swan River or the South-West.
“When I went to college in
America, in New Mexico, I would
head off into the bush with a
backpack, a water purifier and a
dog and go for a couple of days,”
he says.
“For me, it was a crucial
connection back to the outdoors
lifestyle I grew up with as well
as being important to the development of the resilience, core
fitness and self-awareness that
you need in your late teens when
you are learning to be a man.”
Longley says some of his
strongest childhood memories
are of camping trips with his
family.
“Going camping to me was the
ultimate reward, everything else
was just marking time until you
headed off to the campground,”
he says. “And it was not just
camping, getting ready to go
was almost as good as the actual
camping trip.
“The days before you left,
getting ready with Dad, going
through all the gear in the shed,
the smell of the canvas, making
sure everything was good to go
and then packing it all into the
car or the trailer.”
He said camping represented
one of those rare times when the
rules were different, a magic time
when a kid could get as grubby
and wild as they liked and no one
was too bothered.
“In fact, you didn’t even have
to have a wash a lot of the time
so you could get pretty earthy
and there was the whole hunter
gatherer thing that you never got
to do in ‘real’ life,” he says.
“For me, camping was also the
place where you learned things,
valuable things – like how the
moon moves, the relationships
between wind, clouds and rain,
gathering and chopping wood,
building fires, how to dig a trench
around your tent to keep it dry
when the rain that you saw build
up actually hit.
“Camping as a kid was the only
time I didn’t have to be woken up
– I would get up and be out of bed
and dressed before anyone else
so I could get the fire going and
if I was really early, I could get
breakfast started before anyone
else got out of bed.
“Strangely enough, I still like
doing that.”

NEW SOLAR TECHNOLOGY RELEASE
AT THIS YEAR’S SHOW
F
OLDA Solar Direct is well
known and respected
for its range of compact,
lightweight solar panels
for caravanners and campers,
and will be offering its latest
technologically advanced
products at this year’s Caravan &
Camping Show.
Historically, solar panels for the
outdoors have converted sunlight
to power at eight to 14 per cent.
But the new Folda Solar Direct
ranges of the compact folding
canvas and semi-flexible panels
now have a conversion rating of
19-20 per cent or more.
Using the latest technology
from the US, these products
generate greater output per
square metre of cells than old
technology, making them smaller
and easier to store and carry.
There are panels and kits for all
outdoor applications, as well as
for the marine sector.
These hi-tech panels start at a
mere $129 and offer a range of
wattages starting from 30 Watts.
Folda Solar Direct is also wellrespected for its educational
stance about solar power and
company representative John
Brown will present “Tips on
Buying Solar Panels” at the
show seminar series each day.
This interactive presentation
will help you make the right
solar power decision. Look
out for the presentation in
the program to be sure you
know what you need, and
what to look out for, before
you buy.
Ô Folda Solar Direct will
have working displays on
site 315 at the show.

I
T has been two and a half
years since Haines decided
to adapt their skills for
building high-quality
fibreglass marine craft to
Australia’s burgeoning caravan
and motor home market.
Created by respected caravan
designer Peter Russell, the
Seachange caravan is a
premium off-road van for
caravan owners who appreciate
superior design, functionality
and luxury. It has been an
exciting 12 months for the
renowned premium off-road
caravan brand.
In August Seachange released
the revolutionary Tuffnut 420.
The Tuffnut – with its sandwich
panel construction, cafe-style
seating, rolled roof design,
off-road tyres, and lightweight
fibreglass exterior – is built for
serious travelling.
Seachange specialises in
customising layouts to suit
individual needs and in
September, Seachange
completed its first motorhome
commissioned by long-term
Haines Group customers, who

their needs.
The brand now boasts eight

W
I
T’S so easy to drift over
the speed limit in modern,
comfortable cars and
occupants can easily become
oblivious to the fact that the risk
of crashing doubles every 5km/h
over the limit.
Now there’s a product that can
help drivers reduce this risk and it
will be on display at the Caravan
& Camping Show.
Polaris will exhibit the benefits
of the Polaris HUD, a product
that helps reduce the likelihood
of speeding and accidents by
displaying your vehicle’s speed
on to the windscreen in a clear,
transparent digital format
directly in the driver’s line of
vision.
The driver can see clearly
what speed they are traveling
at without taking their eyes off
the road to check the speedo.
The Polaris retails at $129, but
compared with a speeding fine, it
may prove money well spent.
The Polaris HUD plugs into your
car’s cigarette lighter and the
speed is calculated via GPS satellites. It delivers two
over-speed alert warnings that
can be adjusted by the driver to
their desired audio level.

The Recreational Vehicle Manufacturing Association-accredited
company will roll into Perth eager
to unveil The Buckingham

Kingdom believes the Buckingham Mark 2 will be a real hit
with all the standard winning
features of the Buckingham –
such as a dishwasher, ironing
board and other modern
comforts. The ensuite is considerably larger and the rear ensuite
has wall-to-wall cupboards.
Meanwhile the ensuite in the
Kensington’s Mini Pop Top means
caravaners no longer have to
wander around a caravan park
looking for the toilet in the middle
of the night.
The focal point of the Kens-

now what?
T
HE big decisions
prospective fishermen
face are: What species
will they target, where
and how. Knowing what you’re
keen to catch is crucial to
determining what equipment you
will need and how much money
you’re going to spend.
“Buying fishing gear is similar
to getting kitted out for golf.
You can spend hundreds or
even thousands of dollars,” says
Tyrone “Pablo” Yahiya, of Tackle
HQ, in Kingsley.
“Is your gear for annual trips, or
are you looking to fill the freezer
with fillet, which means you
will need circle hooks for bottom
fishing with sinkers.” Beginners
starting fishing off the rocks or
the beach can find entry-level
rods and reels starting at about
$60, a tackle box from $70 and
a good combination of lures for
about $100.
A good species to target would
be tailor, an inshore reef species
found near Perth.
A step up from tailor would be
mulloway, a scale fish found in
gullies and reefs that can reach
up to 30kg and tend to be even
bigger farther south.
“For someone thinking big and
going north, typically to Exmouth,
Coral Bay or Montebello Islands
for epic sports fishing for giant
trevally it can get pricey,” Tyrone
says of the premier league.
“The ultra-enthusiastic are
happy spending up to $6000 on
gear to take on this hard-pulling,
pelagic species.”
For these sports fishing
activities, anglers will require
big popper lures (either artificial
timber and/or plastic) and heavy
gear for casting into the
whitewash or breaking reefs to
snare “catch and release species”.
It’s not uncommon for fishers to
fork out $1400 for a seven-foot
rod, or even $1000 for a reel, with
lure poppers, stick bait and big,
barbless hooks rounding off the
required appendages for typical,
trevally-type sports fishing.
Alternately jigging – fishing
with a metal lure for fish at the
bottom of the ocean – has taken
off in WA where fish are targeted
right up through the water
column.
Table species such as the West
Australian dhufish, pink snapper,
harlequin, bald chin grouper and
mackrel are all prized catches
with a jig rod.
Farther north, popular fish in
the jig crosshairs include blue
bone, coral trout, red emperor
and rankin cod.
Prices start from $60, but real
enthusiasts can pay up to $800
for a jig rod.

HAT four-wheel-drive
you’ve purchased can
do a lot more than just
mount the curb when
you’re picking up the kids from
school.
It’s made for camping and
pushing the envelope in the great
outdoors, where ARB founder
Tony Brown cut his teeth in 1975
four-wheel-driving through the
Top End of Australia relying on
home made or ill-fitting
equipment that was not designed
for the harsh Outback of
Australia.
As a result, Tony’s expertise
was regularly called on, be it
to repair broken bull bars or
damaged roof racks.
This led Anthony Ronald Brown
(ARB) into his garage where
he began manufacturing high
quality, 4X4 accessories that
could meet the demand of tough
Australian conditions. Today ARB
is the largest manufacturer and
distributor in Australia and at the
Caravan & Camping Show the
company will display dozens of
accessories tailored to
maximising outdoor adventures
and getting your 4x4 into its
natural habitat.
ARB will showcase everything
from protection equipment
including bull bars, air
compressors, lighting, canopies,
roof racks, winches, fridge
freezers, reversing cameras,
battery systems and power
solutions, touring and camping
accessories.
It’s well worth popping in to
see ARB to discuss the
equipment that will transform
that gleaming new 4X4 of yours
from an urban crawler
into a beast of nature.

SAFETY off-road
T
HERE’S simply no
compromise when it
comes to safety on epic
adventures into the
Australian Outback.
It’s one of the most beautiful
landscapes on Earth, but the
Outback is also one of the
harshest, most remote terrains on
the planet.
After 14 years of taking people
on outdoor camping expeditions,
Campfire Escapes trip leader
Nick Underwood has some sage
advice that could save your life
or, at the very least, give you the
security and confidence to enjoy
camping and travelling safely in
Australia.
“An EPIRB (Emergency Positioning Indicating Radio Beacon)
with built in GPS capability,
decent maps and knowing where
you are to start off with is
important,” Nick says.
But before you even drive off,
the cardinal rule is to tell people
where you are going and when
you expect to return, Nick says.
“But then don’t change the
course and go somewhere else,
because if you do then get lost
or in trouble, nobody will know
where to find you,” he says.
It goes without saying that
water is gold when it comes to
survival in remote, hot regions of
Australia.
Nick recommends at least five
litres of water a person for each
day, but says he often takes 20
litres a person for those who like
to wash and even shower.
“More is always better than less
when it come to water,” he says.
If your wheels do break down,
he says the most important thing
to remember is “never leave your
vehicle under any circumstances”.
“It’s easy to see from the air and
it’s got shade, shelter and water,”
Nick says.
While first aid kits are always
included on camping expeditions,
Nick says properly equipped
4X4 vehicles also have good
repair kits for tubeless tyres.
“Most people who go camping
have a tent, canopy or awning,”
he says.
“If you didn’t have these you
could make a shelter from the
bush to keep out of the sun and
survive the heat.
“You could also open your
vehicle’s doors and windows and
sit out of the sun.”
Ultimately, Nick says there is no
substitute for experience when
it comes to driving on sand or
gravel tracks, where
“situation awareness” is an
essential survival tool.
“Knowing where you are is the
most important thing.
“And even if you are lost, with
maps and GPS you can study
tracks, roads and your surroundings to see where you are in
relation to, for instance, a nearby
hill.”
Ô See Nick’s towing tips

CHECK YOUR
LOAD FOR A
CANE TOAD
Cane toads, introduced to
Queensland in 1935, are major
environmental pests in WA,
significantly damaging our
biodiversity and ecosystems.
Cane toads are great stowaways
and can be easily transported in
your luggage.
When you are packing to leave
an area where cane toads
are present, it is important to
thoroughly check you are not
accidentally carrying one.
Cane toads can hide in
many places, such as:
Ô Boxes, crates and pallets.
Ô Building materials.
Ô Camping equipment, such as
folded tarps and tents, and
cooler boxes.
Ô Fishing and boating gear,
such as bait boxes, tackle
boxes and engine wells.

SAFE towing
T
HERE’S no substitute
for experience when
it comes to towing a
caravan or trailer, with
one golden rule governing safety,
especially on gravel roads: Slow
down.
That’s the advice of Nick
Underwood, a trip leader at
Campfire Escapes, who has been
taking rookies, in particular new
four-wheel-drive owners seeking
to gain confidence in the bush, on
camping expeditions for 14 years.
The blunt reality applicable
to any towed object is that if it
becomes detached on the road,
it becomes a loose missile with
potentially disastrous, even fatal,
consequences.
As a result Nick says before
the key goes near the ignition, a
series of safety checks are essential before towing in your 4WD,
ute or sedan.
“For starters make sure the tow
ball down weight matches the
vehicle,” he says.
“You don’t want to put too
heavy a load on the tow bar
because that will lighten the
steering and make it a difficult
proposition to tow.
“Then you must make sure the
jockey wheels are up before you
check the brakes, lights and so
forth.”
Packing the camper and the
vehicle is also important for
safety and Nick says the rule of
thumb is to pack heavier items
low and lighter objects higher up,
for instance on roof racks. “Try
and pack things like jerry cans of
extra water or fuel down low and
make sure they are well-secured.
“I have known of cars rolling
and gas bottles flying around like
missiles.
“It’s also advisable to try and
pack things in the camper.
That puts less pressure on the
suspension than loading up the
car, which changes the handling
dynamics of the vehicle,” Nick
says.
Once you’re out on the road,
it can be easy to forget you are
towing another object, until
you’re forced to brake on a steep
incline or turn into a tight corner.
“Most campers will tow well
behind a vehicle, provided there
is enough power. So it’s easy
to forget you have a camper in
tow until you get to a steep hill.
Awareness is critical, especially
when you are cornering and can’t
go as fast,” Nick says.
“So slow down, particularly on
deflate tyres according to the
weight above the wheels on the
camper and the vehicle to create
a longer footprint on the sand.
“My best advice to anybody
towing for the first time is to do a
shake-down trip, driving on dirt
roads in particular to get used to
how the car and trailer react in
all conditions. A couple of days
out on country roads to see how
it all behaves works wonders and
builds confidence,” Nick says.
gravel because that can be like
driving on marbles and you must
keep an eye on your speed and
the unit you are towing.
“The last thing you want is to
take a corner too hard and have
the van or camper slide out in
front of an oncoming car.”

off-road campers with good
clearance on beaches and says if

GUIDE TO BUYING A
RECREATIONAL VEHICLE
IN WESTERN AUSTRALIA
What is an RV and what requires compliance to Australian Design Standards?
There are Caravans, Camper Trailers, Pop Top Caravans, Motorhomes, Camper Vans, 5th Wheelers and Camper Caravans - they
can all be described as an RV. In Western Australia, if you can tow it or drive it and you sell them you need a WA Dealers Licence or a
Salesperson Licence and need to be compliant to both Australian standards and also to specific WA regulations.
So ask yourself, what am I going to use it for?
There are a few questions to ponder, “Where do we want to go? Off-road or not?” “What style of vehicle do we want? Solid wall caravan
or soft wall camper?” “Something to tow or a self propelled vehicle like a Camper Van or Motorhome?” and most importantly “How much
do I want to spend?”.
Buying?
In WA any RV purchase price advertised or quoted by a dealer has to include all costs. In other words the price you should pay for an
RV must include the price of the RV, licensing and dealer delivery fees so it is ready for you to pick up. You SHOULD NOT be asked to
licence the RV yourself. WA Dealers must be licenced to sell an RV and comply to all WA Regulations relating to compliance of the RV to
Australian Design Standards. There’s no stamp duty on a caravan or camper trailer in WA.
Can my vehicle tow the weight?
If you already have your tow vehicle it may limit your RV choices. A larger heavier RV will require a larger and more powerful vehicle than
a smaller lighter RV. Your tow vehicle will also have maximum ball load and that should also match your RV. In other words, you need to
check before you buy your RV!
Different vehicles have different towing capacities, so you must ensure your towing vehicle has sufficient capacity to tow the trailer when
it is fully laden. Your WA dealer will be able to tell you what your vehicle can tow.
So have a look at all the options, ask plenty of questions of the salesperson and remember there are plenty of styles of RV
available - and one of them will be right for you!

NATIONAL LIFESTYLE
VILLAGES
T OO young, too fit, too healthy
for retirement? Come along to
one of our seminars or visit our
stand (No. 607) which has one
of our homes on display, noon daily
in the Seminar Room at the Caravan
& Camping Show.
The expression “you’re only as old
as you feel” has become a mantra
for many who refuse to sit back and
simply watch themselves age.
Fortunately, for those of us looking
to make a move, there is an option
available that encourages a healthy,
active lifestyle without the hassles
that come with home ownership:
National Lifestyle Villages.
Far from being a traditional
retirement village, NLV sites across
WA and Victoria offer independent
living in the truest sense of the
term.
While NLV is promoted to men
and women in their mid–50s, the
average age of residents is 63,
making the residents far younger
than the average age of 83 in
traditional retirement villages.
“There is a generational difference
between us and traditional
retirement villages of about 20
years,” says John Wood, chief
executive officer at NLV, which
focuses on resort–style independent
living health–conscious individuals.
Ô Go to the Seminar Room,
each day at noon, to find out
more about National Lifestyle
Villages.
OLDA Solar Direct is well–
respected for providing clear,
easy-to-understand information
about solar power and company
representative John Brown will
present “Tips on Buying Solar Panels”
as part of the show seminar series each
day.
This interactive presentation will
help you make the right solar power
decision.
Folda Solar Direct is well–known for
its range of compact, lightweight solar
panels for caravanners and campers,
and will offer its latest,
technologically advanced products at
this year’s Caravan & Camping Show.
The range of hi–tech panels start at

Ô TYRE SAFETY
ADAM GOSLING,
TYRESAFE
T yres are a bit mysterious
to many people, but not
Adam Gosling. His
experience with tyres
spans several continents,
and he has trained with major
factories, has been involved
with the management of the
tyres on large fleets, sits on
Australian Standards committees and is an active member
of industry working groups for
tyre fitter training and tyre
safety.
His passion for tyres extends
from small car tyres all the way
through to giant earthmover
models.
Adam’s TyreSafe Australia
seminar on tyre maintenance
will address major safety issues
surrounding your tyres. Adam
will also share easy ways to
maintain tyres and share safety
tips that will help you enjoy the
holiday rather than curse the
tyre you ignored yesterday.
Questions about the
performance of your tyres are
welcomed.
TyreSafe Australia is not
involved in tyre supply so has
no allegiance with any brand.
“Look after your tyres and
they will look after you,” Adam
says.
Thursday–Sunday, 3pm;

A positive solution for rust
C
OUPLERTEC will be
exhibiting their tried,
tested and proven
patented electronic rustproofing technology, stressing
that there are many bogus
devices being sold on the market
that are not the real deal and do
little more than turn on a light.
If you’re intrigued to know all
about the naturally occurring
electromechanical process of
metals attempting to return
to its natural unrefined state,
CouplerTec will tell you all about
it at the Caravan & Camping
Show.
You will be enlightened on how
iron, oxygen and water (including
air moisture) combine and the
rusting process can be
accelerated when iron is
subjected to nature’s minerals
such as salt and other chemicals,
mud, mineral elements, moisture,
humidity, and temperature fluctuations.
CouplerTec will show you how
its technology works to interfere
with the metal’s ability to react
with oxygen by preventing
the opposite charge of iron
combining with oxygen and
then losing electrons in
oxidation, forming rust.
CouplerTec’s Capacitive
Coupling Technology achieves
this by creating a negative (–)
electrostatic surface charge
on the metal surface of the
protected structure.
The (–) Oxygen atom is repelled
by the (–) electrostatic surface
charge. This (–) electrostatic
surface charge is created by
building a capacitor within the
protected motor vehicle.
The CouplerTec Electronic Rust
Proofing System consists of two
components that build a
capacitor within
the protected structure or motor
vehicle, the CouplerTec Electronic
Module and the Capacitive Coupler.
CouplerTec staff will be on
hand to explain the finer
intricacies and how the systems
will not interfere with onboard
computers or electronics, is
transferrable to other vehicles
and can even help, stop or slow
existing rust and corrosion on
bolt on accessories such as bull
bars and side steps.

LUEPRINT Industries will
display a new GPS Tracker
(GTR128) that will help keep
your caravan or boat safe.
The durable and multifunctional GPS/GSM/GPRS
tracker can be installed in vans
or boats, and uses a mobile
phone SIM card to allow you
keep you informed as to where
it is at.
In the event the van or boat is
stolen, you can get the tracker
to send you its last position or
its position at regular intervals.
There is also an option for a
web-based tracking service.
Blueprint is looking at
introducing this option later this
year if there is enough demand
for the service.
This latest-model GPS Tracker
is about the size of a cigarette
packet.
The built-in GSM and GPS
antennas are easy to install and
the operating cost is about
$120 a year, assuming one
positional text a day, plus the
initial purchase price of
$195.

VIDA motorhomes may be
stylish on the outside and
luxurious inside, but George
Williams from Parkland RV Centre
says the hidden features are
what truly make Avidas special.
“Under the floor, every Avida is
sheathed in galvanised metal
to provide additional protection
from road debris, year after year,”
George says.
“When it comes to the Australian
terrain, that extra layer of
protection is just essential.
“Every Avida includes full
sandwich panelling, which is an
outstanding insulation system.
“Every panel is thickly insulated
with premium polystyrene
foam to create a barrier from
the outside temperatures while
reducing road noise.”
Avida is an Australian-owned
family company and has been
building motorhomes in Australia
for nearly 50 years.
The company is so confident
the RVs will last the test of time
that each motorhome is backed
by a two-year or one-millionkilometre warranty, and a fiveyear structural guarantee.
But if you are unlucky enough
to run into trouble, Parkland RV
Centre supplies full service and
repairs for all brands of vans new
or used.
As well as being the sole Avida
Motorhomes agent, Parkland
RV Centre is also the only WA
provider of the highly acclaimed
Opal and Atlantic new generation

self up with all the kit needed for
about $1000.
After a few weekends away in
your tent, it won’t be long before
you’re jealously eyeing a campertrailer, which come in a variety
of models to suit a big range of
budgets.
Some camper-trailers are
suitable for off-road use, but
check before you buy.
State-of-the-art expander
camper-trailers can offer the
convenience of an airconditioner
and microwave.
But if you’re going to buy a
top-of-the-range camper-trailer,
perhaps you might as well
consider a caravan.
Pop-out rooftop tents for
4X4 vehicles are also growing
in popularity, but ultimately,
for some, nothing beats a real
caravan.
Prices can start at about
$30,000 and push $100,000 at
the top end for
that home on
wheels featuring
all the comforts.
The important thing to
remember is that
you get what you

N Australia we live in a
camping paradise, so the
only serious question to
consider before hitting the
road is whether you should
take a tent, camper-trailer or
caravan.
A tent is a good entry-level
product, ideal to get you into the
camping lifestyle in an affordable
way.
You can even roll them up on
the back of a bike or hike with
them.
At the other end of the scale
there are large, compartmental
tents for big family groups.
The biggest advance in modern
tent design is that you can just
pop them up with their flexible
frames. They’re much easier to
erect than the old days of poles
and pegs.
Tents can start from about $99,

TOURISM COUNCIL WA
Did your last WA holiday tick all the boxes? Did it
offer a high level of service? Did you rave about it to
your friends? Do you want go back it was that good?
T
OURISM Council WA
advises holiday makers
to “trust the tick” when
travelling in WA. Put
your confidence and trust in
Australian tourism businesses
that have been endorsed through
the Australian Tourism Accreditation Program (ATAP). If they
meet the standard, they earn the
tick.
Leading WA tourism businesses
are displaying the accreditation
tick to show they are committed
to exceeding your expectations
with great customer service and

5 REASONS TO TAKE
YOUR KIDS CAMPING
1 FAMILY BONDING TIME
Sleeping in a tent, campervan or
caravan gets everyone together
and allows you to do so many
activities that you don’t do at home
because of the busy lives we lead.
It may also be a chance to get to
know each other better.
2 EXPERIENCE NATURE
Camping will get your children
into an environment that will
allow them to see and experience
nature unlike they do at home. And
while for some it may be a little
daunting, persevere. The bug that
scared them on the first trip or emu
walking through the campsite may
not be frightening the next time.
3 LEARNING EXPERIENCE
As well as learning about nature,
children can learn about meal
preparation, building fires, how to
set up for a camp – and how to get
by without a computer and TV.
4 FRESH AIR AND OPEN SKIES
Not many of us sit in our backyards
at night and look up at the sky
can expect quality, reliability,
and professional customer
service.
Travellers can choose from more
than 1000 tourism businesses
ranging from boutique bed and
breakfasts, large hotels, winery
tours, 4WD Outback adventures,
restaurants, campervan hire,
fishing outings and much more
that have met the Australian
Tourism Standard in WA and
display the tourism tick of
approval.
So next time you are planning
a holiday in WA, you can find
these accredited business on the
website www.trustthetick
.com.au.
To learn more about the tick,
visit the Tourism Council WA

with our children – there is always
something to do around the house,
or something to see on TV. When
you are camping, sitting around

you can do – and be amazed at the
tranquillity and the clean air.

EXPERT TIPS
Ô Be careful with gas canisters.
Keep them upright at all times
and outside in a well-ventilated
area, and remember to turn off
when not in use.
Ô Don’t forget the heavy duty
aluminium foil. There are many
uses for it at camp.
Ô To remove odours from your
cooler, wipe with a water and
baking soda solution.
Ô For ease of clean-up and to
protect from smoke and fire
damage, put liquid soap on the
outside of your pots and pans
before putting over the fire.
Ô To stop marshmallows for
the campfire sticking together,
add a little icing sugar to the
bag.

www.lovetheoutdoors.com
Cooking
the old-fashioned way
S
OMETHING about cooking
the old-fashioned way
makes the entire experience – from food preparation to savouring your last bite
– special.
A real drawback, however, is
that cooking at camp requires
more time, patience, and
ingenuity than kitchen cooking.
Regardless of what you plan to
cook on your next camping trip,
there are a few food preparation
staples that you shouldn’t forget.
First and foremost is a box of
matches and some lighter fluid.
As for dishes, the true
necessities are a medium to large
lightweight pot, a pan of similar
size, aluminum foil, and a
portable grate that can be placed
over a fire pit. This combination of
cooking equipment can be used
to prepare just about anything
from bacon and eggs to beans
and pasta. Lastly, don’t forget
your spatula and tongs – pulling
food off a fire bare-handed is far
from pleasant.
COOKING METHODS
The most basic form of campfire
cooking is to use direct heat.
There are two ways to
accomplish this. The first, an
old Scouts’ trick, is to wrap food
items individually in aluminum
foil and place them in hot coals.
It requires frequent checking, but
is very effective for foods that
require high heat.
The second, method is simply
to place a grate over an open fire
and grill your food. The heat from
this source is less direct, so it will
take a little longer to cook. Apply
oil to keep foods from sticking.
For soups, stews, and pastas,
build the fire, let it die down to
hot coals, and place the pot or
pan over them.
Or, if you don’t feel confident
about building a campfire, you
can of course take a barbecue
with you.

MicroBlitz
M
ICROBLITZ is a citizen
science project that
allows anyone to
take part in groundbreaking research to support the
work of Prof Andrew Whiteley
at UWA’s School of Earth and
Environment.
Prof Whiteley plans to collect
soil samples from across the
vastness of WA to create a snapshot of the biodiversity hidden
within.
Results generated from this
research will help us deal with
key sustainability challenges
including agricultural practice,
climate change regulation and
mine site rehabilitation.
MicroBlitz engages volunteers
throughout WA to discover the
hidden bio-diversity of the soil
beneath their feet.
Through MicroBlitz, volunteer
citizen scientists simply collect
soil samples that they send to a
centralised laboratory for DNA
sequencing and basic chemical
analysis.
It’s a perfect way for travellers –
and especially their children – to
be part of vital scientific research
for our state.
HOW TO GET INVOLVED
1 People can get a kit by visiting
the website (www.microblitz.
com.au) to register as a
MicroBlitzer. They may sign up
for a single or multiple kits.
Travellers can take samples at
different locations.
Once they have their kit it is as
simple as taking a photograph,
recording location, digging a
small hole, collecting about 200g
of soil and posting it back to the
Microblitz team.
The kit and postage is paid for
by the project so there is no cost
to volunteer samplers.
2 Kits are very light and
portable, easy to take away
and requires very little room –
basically everything fits into
large lunch size zip lock bag.
Kits include everything required
to take a sample (except a
trowel): instructions, string and
peg square quadrat (for marking
out area), recording sheet, sample
bags and return postage packs.
Part of the kit (the quadrat) is
recyclable and gets returned with
sample taken.
Once the sample is taken it
should be stored in cold space
such as fridge/esky until posted
at the first opportunity.
The kits are very child friendly
and Microblitz reckons anyone
aged five to 95 can take a sample.
Young children may need an
adult to assist them to work out
and record information.
Later this year an app will be
introduced that will collect
information required for
sampling, which Microblitz
believes will be popular with
younger volunteers.
3 Citizen science volunteers will
be able to get feedback about
their specific samples and will be
able to access information about
samples from other locations.
This information will enable
volunteers to make comparisons
about the main groups of
microbial communities in samples
and provide them with some
basic chemical information.
In addition, Microblitz will
feature articles and updates
about the findings of several
research questions that the team
and other projects are using the
information for. These include
case studies of agricultural
properties such as farms and
wineries, mine site rehabilitation
investigations and ways in which
information yielded from
Microblitz is adding value to
others’ research efforts.
This information will be made
available on the Microblitz
website later this year.
