Firewood Stops
  • Tip Rating:
  • If you go on a tour camping with eating outside at the camp fire - you will of course to have to get the fire wood for that.

    So once a day your bus makes a stop somewhere in the country where there is a lot of bush ... and you are shooed outside to get some wood for the fire that night.

    I always thought stomping through the bush is no good idea, because of snakes. We saw several, too. Just make sure you are wearing high boots, socks and make a lot of noise, also donīt step where you can not see the ground.

    Eating Kangaroo Tails
    My travelling aunt tells me that when she was at a work gathering with her Tour Company at Ayers Rock recently, among the Aborigines there, BBQ Kangaroo Tails (still with the fur on) are a great specialty, especially with the kids....throw them on the fire till they're almost charcoaled, then drag them off and eat with the fingers.....
    My aunt decided to pass and snuck back to her room to boil up some packet soup instead...

    aboriginals
    obviously there are loads of cultural differences between aboriginals and everyone else so i wont even try to start listing them - but you may be suprised by the reaction you will get when trying to ingage in conversation with some aboriginal people. don't mistake long pauses before answers and lack of eye contact as rudeness - its just the way they are.
