Myswag stubby holder
My best camping accessory was a quick release spreader bar for the awning , I found it at outback adventures at Morayfield for about $18 from memory
did not come with the led strip though just the bar ..it made setting it at right length very very easy
Jet ;D ;D
Big W Coffee Perculator, $19 ish.
Bubble level to achieve the perfect camp set up, and ensure the egg yoke is centred
Hi!
An Avanti double wall stainless mug for hot and cold drinks, my bit of luxury $18.00
barb
Thats easy
A long handled weed digger.
Modified to lever out tent pegs so I dont have to bend over and hurt my back.
Added a little hook to pick it up as well, but Im currently modifying that to have a magnet.
all for $5.00 at a bunnings sale.

Mine was more expensive than that. But I think I am depreciating faster :)
Those little butane gas cookers.
Cheapo LED torches for the kids. Keeps them entertained for hours at night.

You might have got her for less than 20 bucks, but it's the ongoing cost that kills you ... ;D

Depending on your choice of campsite annoyance, I find the empties are a good feral deterrent :cheers:
5 metres of 5050 LED strip lighting...

So, they're for display purposes Noel?
For a moment there, I thought you might have been drinking them...

Not sure if this is our best, but our most recent is a collapsible silicon dish rack for $10. I have no idea what it does but I'm told it's good.
One of these stools. No one else will sit in it. It's always where I left it upon returning to camp, it never wanders off to other camps when in a group, like all of the rest of our gear >:(
A pack of 20 bog rolls with comfort and grip...
For an overnighter ???
The cheapest and best........
A box of matches
Whistler
A small heavy duty tarp and a pack of zip ties has a ton of uses.

I got one of them from Aldi. Looks a good piece of kit.
I have no idea what it does either. I just put it under the sink, and some days it appears up beside the sink with stuff in it. ???

2x camp chairs from rays for 8 bucks each.
They finaly just Shit themselves in the last few months but lasted 4 years
a cute little folding aluminium table, just under 30cm x 30cm x 30 cm high - usable as a footrest, drinks table or shower stool (not all at once though)
we now have two
Hmmmmmmmmm, Many moons ago......................I camped out overnight on a south coast beach of NSW (Ulladulla), met a 1/2 Cambodian 1/2 Spanish female tourist, absolutely gorgeous.
A few cans of UDL's that evening and bacon and eggs breakfast the following morning was the best $20 I ever spent for camping, come to think of it, its the best $20 ever spent in my life.
wow - what the likes of me dreamed about when I became a single man rediscovering my love for the beach - some blokes just find themselves in the right place at the right time...
