What you will need: Linen, pillow or sleeping bag, toilet paper, and personal toiletries, torch, insect repellent, bath towel, swimmers, running gear, board games/playing cards, musical instruments, etc. however, please note that everything you want to bring will need to be carried approximately 1.5kms (20 minutes walk) across a beach and up a single-track bush trail.

Additional things that would be great include folding camp chairs, and if anyone has a hammock there is a good pair of trees just perfect to string one up.

and north along the beach for approx. 150 metres.
2. Turn left (before you reach the gulley between
two hills).

pipe heading up the hill.
4. Walk up these steps and follow the bush track
through the trees to the YHA.
Other info:
Bedrooms
There are two bedrooms (we have equal numbers of men/women also so this works well) that sleep 12 people in total. A bunk bed, single bed and double bed with single on top are available in each room. Blankets and pillows are provided but please take your own sleep sheets and pillow cases (or sheets/sleeping bags) as these are not supplied.
Lighting
As there is no electricity, lighting is powered by solar energy and set on a timer to turn on at 7pm in the Summer and 6pm in the Winter. There is a camp fire area and we will be buying decent firewood to make sure we have a good camp fire all weekend also.
PLEASE BRING YOUR OWN TORCHES / HEADLIGHTS! And if anyone wants to bring a camping lantern for the outdoors table that would be great too.
Cooking and Drinking Water
- Please bring a few large bottles of water with you for your own drinking water, obviously these can be left in the car so you won’t have to lug litres up the hill, but it would be greatly appreciated if everyone had a personal supply of drinking water from home.
- Food will be provided and is included in the cost of the weekend.
- Please BYO alcohol (some beer will be provided if we have $$ left over after I have bought the food) but we do not have means for keeping things cold other than one esky for the provided beer. So
There is a small gas stove and pots, pans, cutlery and crockery are available. Water is provided by tanks outside the YHA, please ensure you boil this water before use.
