Ya gotta ❤️ this
Australians will spend $85,000 on a lifted 79 Series, strap a rooftop tent to it, drive 6 hours into the middle of nowhere… then proudly spend the weekend sleeping worse, eating worse and fighting mosquitoes the size of magpies.
And somehow everyone still acts like this is “relaxing.”
One bloke’s trying to light a campfire with petrol, someone’s mattress is sliding down a tent set up after 9 Carlton Draughts, and there’s always a mate spending 45 minutes reversing a caravan while the entire campsite silently judges him.
But honestly, that’s also why Aussies love camping so much. Sitting in a plastic chair around a fire talking absolute rubbish with mates while holding a beer just scratches something primal in the Australian brain.
Even if the whole hobby is technically just voluntary homelessness with better marketing.
